Starting out with a Biology Degree from Durham University, Lukie has acquired over 25 years’ experience in innovation in many areas including resource minimisation, green energy, sustainable sourcing and circular economy, as well as broader product, process and business innovation. She has worked with some of the world’s largest corporates, helping them discover innovation and inspiration from across the world, but has more recently been working with farmers, landowners, consortiums, SMEs and crop-to-product companies to explore regenerative agri-food systems, and development of biochemicals, biomaterials and other natural products to displace petrochemical and synthetic resources. Her experience covers various industry sectors including agri-food, consumer goods, energy, chemicals, materials, and healthcare. Her work includes hands-on assessment of soil health and biodiversity.
At Lucid Insight, Lukie builds project teams tailored to the needs of each client through partnering with other professional organisations, networks, and with a group of business associates.
