Dr Olli Jones
Head of Sustainability NE / Associate Director Sustainability & Innovation, Cundall
With a PhD in human experience and environmental psychology, Olli has extensive experience in sustainability in the built environment. He joins us after working as a Research Director at Ryder Architecture for five years. He was named among the construction sector’s top 500 green construction influencers globally in 2019 and recognised as one of the UK’s top 100 sustainable design visionaries in 2021 by the UK Design Council.
His expertise is in delivering strategies and policies focussed on decarbonising and transforming our cities with a focus on resilience, adaptation, and regeneration. All of this is driven through innovative sustainable materials, technologies, and policy. Olli is driven by a healthy planet, healthy people philosophy – an enduring belief that regenerative practices will create healthier people, societies, environments, and economies.
Olli continues to lecture at universities where he shares his expertise with their architecture, engineering and environment departments. His passion for sustainability in the built environment has led him to co-host Futurebuild’s FutureX podcast, which focuses on building a global community of innovators and thought leaders to bring new green technologies, materials, and processes to market.
