Biography

Dr. Giovanna Speciale is a co-founder, CEO and Company Secretary of Selce. She worked in the community sector for 14 years whilst spending her free time participating in environmental activism, as part of the road protest and climate and justice movements, often at the head of the activist samba band, Rhythms of Resistance.

After a stint managing an environmental community project and completing an MSc in Energy Policy, she used the financial freedom afforded her by living on a solar-powered boat on Deptford Creek to focus on volunteering to establish Selce. She led the delivery of Selce’s first and second share offers and installations and was one of the architects of our fuel poverty alleviation and energy efficiency initiatives.
