About Victoria Steele

Head of Relationships and Operations (Senior Leadership Team)

Now a member of the senior leadership team, Victoria started out as a Synchronicity Earth intern. Before that, she was working at NBC-Universal, and hoped to eventually make environmental films, but soon realised that she wanted to work more directly in conservation.

Inspired by her childhood in rural Scotland and her grandad’s curiosity about the natural world, she went back to school for a master’s degree in marine conservation. Her internship at Synchronicity Earth was her first conservation role, and she’s been here ever since.

However, her work has evolved a lot over the years, and she’s gradually migrated from the programmes team, through communications, finance and philanthropy, to operations, where she figures out how we can do what we want to do. Having been at SE for more than ten years, her experience helps her problem solve across teams. In her free time, she enjoys hockey, travel, and spending time with her godchildren.
