DIANA DAVIDSON FEMA FRSA FEI


Chair and Treasurer


Diana Davidson was elected Chair of CLEMG, the Central London Energy Management Group in 2015 and Treasurer in 2019.

Prior to Founding Vertemis, her own sustainable development practice in 2010, Diana served as a Director and Senior Executive with several FTSE 250 and NASDAQ listed IS, Utilities Services and Professional Services organisations where she specialised in the digital transformation of regulated services and built environments for more than a decade.

In 2010, after her team at Lendlease won two C40 ‘Global Exemplar’ awards for pioneering predictive and mixed reality design in masterplanning and developing two low carbon communities in London, Diana was inspired to become one of the first Chartered Environmentalists to specialise in cleantech.

She currently serves as an independent NED and management consultant, sits on several client’s Advisory Boards, is a Fellow of the Energy Institute, Energy Managers Association and the Royal Society of Arts, a Foreign Expert in Sustainable Development and a graduate of the Royal Agricultural University and Henley Business School.

Since Diana’s appointment, CLEMG’s membership has more than doubled and our events are now predominantly online.
