Laura joined HC Group in 2021 and is a Portfolio Director working within the Liquid Fuels and Chemicals practice in London.
Her area of expertise is within European liquid fuels supply and trading, providing search and advisory services to clients across the crude oil, refined products, petrochemicals, renewable and transition fuels value chains. Since joining HC Group, Laura has played a key role in developing the renewable fuels practice for the company. She previously spent eight years with another commodities search firm, initially in New York and then relocated to London in 2017 to build the EMEA oil and LNG business. Laura speaks fluent German.
Since joining HC Group, I have helped to build our renewable and transition fuels search and advisory capability and assisted several leading trading organisations in realising their low carbon goals through strategic investments in commercial talent. It is very rewarding to see the distinguished professionals we place go on to make such a positive impact on their employers and the energy sector.
