Juliet Kinsman

Juliet Kinsman is a sustainability expert, broadcaster and solutions-led storyteller who transforms complex climate science into inspiring, actionable insights for audiences across industries. As the first Sustainability Editor for Condé Nast Traveller, founding editor of Mr & Mrs Smith, and creator of the non-profit consultancy Bouteco, she has spent three decades championing integrity in travel through award-winning podcasts, documentaries and guidebooks including The Bucket List: Eco Experiences. A regular voice on BBC and Sky News and host at Climate Week, Juliet equips organisations and individuals with practical tools to make greener choices, cut through greenwash and align values with action for genuine positive impact.

After three decades exploring the world's most remarkable places, Juliet Kinsman founded the non-profit consultancy Bouteco to shift the conversation in travel from luxury to legacy. What began as a career celebrating boutique hotels evolved into a mission-driven focus on how storytelling can support conservation and communities in remote corners of the world. As founding editor of Mr & Mrs Smith, she worked alongside philanthropic hoteliers and award-winning brands, an experience that inspired her to create Bouteco in 2016 to produce documentaries and podcasts that cut through greenwash and champion stories of genuine positive impact. Born in Canada and raised between Algeria, New York and London, with extended spells in India, Greece, Bali and Malaysia, Juliet's global perspective informs her belief that travel can be a force for good when integrity guides every decision.

Her credentials as a sustainability authority are built on tangible achievements and industry firsts. In 2020, Juliet became the inaugural Sustainability Editor for Condé Nast Traveller, a role that positioned her at the forefront of redefining how the travel media addresses climate responsibility. She has since created a sustainable travel channel for The London Standard, hosting award-winning podcasts that translate complex environmental science into accessible, engaging content. A resident travel expert on BBC Radio London since 2014 and regular contributor to Sky News, she appears across media platforms speaking to diverse audiences, from luxury travellers to corporate leaders. Her guidebooks include The Bucket List: Eco Experiences published by Rizzoli, The Green Edit: Travel from Ebury, and contributions to Louis Vuitton City Guides. In 2019, she travelled to Morocco to produce the documentary Changing Worlds in the Atlas Mountains, raising awareness about educating women in rural areas as a climate solution. As a consultant, Juliet helps hospitality brands align their values with action, and as host of events at Climate Week, she connects industry innovators with practical pathways to change.

Juliet equips audiences with the tools to make greener choices that matter. She transforms technical topics into compelling narratives, making the nuanced science of climate change understandable and actionable for consumers, corporates and everyone in between. Her speaking engagements, whether as a keynote or panellist, focus on integrity in travel, the principle that values, words and actions must align without gaps or contradictions. She challenges listeners to question greenwash, broaden their perspectives and recognise how their everyday habits and travel decisions contribute to a better world. By sharing stories of changemakers and offering solutions-led insights, Juliet inspires lasting impact, helping organisations and individuals move from awareness to meaningful action that benefits people and place.
