Jowell Lydon has over 30 years’ experience as an IT professional across a variety of industries helping to develop high performing teams as a scrum master, release train engineer, and project manager. As a life-long learner, he recently completed a master’s degree in Sustainability Studies from the Harvard University Extension School as well as a post graduate certificate in data science and business analytics from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas, Austin. Jowell sought a degree in sustainability as an opportunity to help companies in the oil and gas industry begin to make the change to more sustainable practices from the inside. He is currently employed by S&P Global supporting a team that helps clients accurately measure, account for, and manage their greenhouse gas emissions.

Along with his corporate career, Jowell has been a facilitator and coach for DTP Leadership who brings 33 years of personal development and awareness regarding his own habitual patterns and blocks to help others recognize and work through their own challenges to lead more fulfilling lives. Jowell believes in social justice and is committed as a white male to addressing white male privilege and helping other white males get past their entrenched resistance and recognize the role privilege plays so they can become better leaders, friends, and family members. He believes everyone has an innate ability to change and grow and brings that belief to all that he does both personally and professionally. As an avid lover of the outdoors and someone committed to living more sustainably, Jowell sees all life on earth as interconnected and believes that the changes we make in ourselves are the most powerful way to make changes in the world.
