Janet Anne West got her first MSc in Environmental Chemistry many years ago but it was too early for the ideas of environmental science to be taken seriously. Since then she has had a diverse career as a commercial pilot, marketing roles with Kodak and Sony and has been instrumental in developing high definition television markets in Canada and Europe via Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Sony. Since 1997 she has run a small consulting business training many broadcasters in HDTV production including Sky. With HD established as a standard format, in 2007, she returned to Surrey University full time to study for another master’s in Environmental strategy. Graduating in 2008, Janet works as a consultant in the broadcasting and transportation field helping companies develop a green agenda to balance profits with their impact on the planet. Janet also lectures in environmental science and transport emissions at Skema Business school in France and the University of Surrey. She is also helping develop projects in the broadcast industry to help ensure its sustainability and doing research with Warwick University on the increasing impact on society of ICT energy. Janet has written, produced and directed corporate videos and presented at various conferences most recently at the Levira 5th International Broadcasting Conference in Tallinn. Janet is currently working with the EU funded Climate KIC program looking at behavioural changes to reduce IT energy.
