- designing top-of-the-house sustainability and net-zero strategies for a number of financial institutions, accompanied by enabling organizational structures and infrastructure to execute against strategic vision
- developing a suite of sector-agnostic methodology to stress test a company’s exposure to climate risk, both transition and physical, to inform the development of a robust climate risk- and resilience-management strategy
- designing risk identification and scenario generation for a large bank in order to access its risk-management systems and prepare for “tail risks”
- supporting a large bank to develop a system to better understand the “risk weighting” for its assets to be used as a forecasting solution to better comply with internal and external pressure
- creating the risk-management framework across a variety of functions including data and analytics, strategy, policy, and processes
