Risk and opportunity come from the same place.
Understand the nature of the risks and the constraints of the system, and you can identify the right adaptation solutions.
Applied Climate Science
Each project is a little different, but here’s what I usually offer:
-
I help founders sharpen their strategy and position themselves for growth in an increasingly crowded and cutthroat market by offering:
Product-market fit: Align tech with the real-world needs of increasingly savvy and impact-focused funders and clients.
Scientific grounding and translation: Ensure product and messaging are not just backed by robust methods, but are translated into the right context for each setting and audience.
Growth and client strategy: Break into new markets and find better clients.

Most ESG metrics miss the mark. I help teams translate climate and nature risk into operational and strategic action, with:
Physical risk analysis: In the last five years, the emergence of open-source modeling and cloud-computing enables one person to do what once required a team of six. Whether it’s a screening or a deep-dive analysis, I can help quantity climate risks across and entire value-chain, identify blind spots, and partner with specialists to offer highly targeted adaptation investments options.
Vendor evaluation: Don’t know which vendors are the best fit? I can help provide a comprehensive review of third-party vendors based on the rigor, completeness, and relevancy of their offerings.
Climate investment strategy: Divestment and rebalancing isn’t a sustainable response to climate risk. I help investors think through risk management options and adaptation investments at the site-, company-, and portfolio-level.
Training & capacity building: I help teams build fluency in climate and nature concepts and tools, especially for teams building-out internal climate and nature strategies.
