Shanez Fernando
Shanez joined HC Group in 2020 and is a Senior Associate working within the Liquid Fuels and Chemical practice in London.
During her first few months, Shanez worked across the different practices and one of her proudest achievements is successfully placing two candidates into L1 New Energy in the space of three months, helping cement a relationship with a rapidly growing fund focused on ESG. She is focused now on European Renewable and Future Fuels, placing senior individuals to aid our clients on their decarbonisation journeys.
As an Asian woman, I am most passionate about promoting both racial and gender diversity in the commodity industry. I believe this is vital to increasing innovation, especially with regards to energy transition.
