My work connects strategy with the institutional conditions required to make it effective.
Over three decades, I have worked across marine science, ocean governance, international development programmes and organisational strategy.
The common challenge is translating complex ambitions into decisions, capabilities and delivery arrangements that can work in practice.
For development banks, governments, funds and ocean industries seeking to align finance, governance, technology and implementation.
Ocean-sector engagements are undertaken through Blue-Green Advisors Ltd, the specialist advisory company founded by Stuart J. Green in 2017.
Institutions can continue delivering against an approved strategy while the assumptions supporting their operating model become progressively less reliable.
My advisory work helps boards and executive leaders examine those assumptions, understand the implications and determine whether existing structures should be retained, adapted or redesigned.
Stuart also advises boards and executive leaders on organisational strategy, governance and operating-model change. These engagements are discussed and scoped directly with Stuart. The appropriate contractual arrangements are agreed for each engagement.
My work spans ocean governance, international development, investment strategy and institutional implementation. These examples demonstrate different forms of professional involvement, including advisory appointments, published research and corporate consortium participation.
Blue-Green Advisors is publicly identified as a consortium partner in the UK Government’s Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST) programme.
My work is connected to ocean strategy, governance, technical advisory and the institutional conditions required to deliver sustainable ocean programmes.
My work with the Asian Development Bank includes regional ocean strategy and technical contributions to understanding the governance, investment and environmental challenges facing the Asia-Pacific.
I am credited as a co-lead author of the ADB’s 2025 publication on oceans and coral reefs in Asia and the Pacific.
In January 2026, the Seafood Task Force publicly announced my appointment as Senior Consultant to support its strategic positioning and 2030 agenda.
The engagement reflects my work at the intersection of seafood systems, institutional governance and long-term strategic delivery.
These examples distinguish individual authorship, professional appointments and corporate consortium participation. They do not imply responsibility for programme-wide outcomes.
I begin with the decision or problem the institution needs to address.
That means understanding the existing arrangements, the assumptions supporting them, the constraints on implementation and the consequences of leaving the problem unresolved.
Depending on the engagement, the work may involve diagnosis, strategy development, operating-model design, institutional governance or implementation support.
The appropriate scope is agreed before detailed work begins.
Examine institutional strategy, structural operating-model misfit, governance, accountability, decision rights and organisational capabilities.
Develop options for structures, capabilities and board and executive decision-making, making trade-offs explicit.
Support implementation and transition as existing arrangements change and new capabilities become operational.
