Beryl (contract)

June 2020 - June 2022

Beryl is a bike-share company in the UK and US with a focus on sustainability.

After my plans to move from London to Australia were interrupted by COVID. I was asked if I'd like to return to Beryl to help launch a few key projects.

A year and a half later, COVID is still a thing and I'm still with beryl changing the way cities move.
