Risk and opportunity come from the same place. Understand the nature of the risks and the constraints, and you can identify the right adaptation solutions.

I work with investors, start-ups, and VCs to map out what’s coming, what it means, and where to act.

Applied Climate Science

Each project is a little different, but here’s what I usually offer:

  • From signals to action

    Most ESG metrics miss the mark. I help teams translate climate and nature risk into operational and strategic action, with:

    • Asset-level and deep supply chain risk analysis:

      Integrate best-in-class approaches to understand physical risks for each holding across all asset classes and an entire portfolio

    • Decision-support:

      I work with investors to help answer the common question – “what now”, by initially developing internal processes and frameworks to effectively translate data into decisions

    • Adaptation Guidance:

      Divestment and rebalancing isn’t a sustainable response to climate risks. 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 risk concepts and tools, especially for teams building-out internal climate and nature strategies

  • Help with getting it right, then growing it

    Founders face a tough balancing act — building fast while maintaining mission, rigor, and navigating an increasingly complex ecosystem of partners, competitors, and funders. I help founders sharpen their strategy and position themselves for growth in a cutthroat market by offering:

    • Go-to-Market & Positioning Support:

      Align tech with the real-world needs of increasingly savvy and climate-conscious funders and clients

    • Scientific Grounding and Translation:

      Ensure product and messaging are not just backed by robust data and modeling but are translated into the right context for each setting and audience.

    • Growth and IP strategy

    Available as a fractional product lead or sweat equity advisor

  • Big bets should equate to big impacts

    I work with VC firms and institutional investors to find deals and design investment strategies around companies turning the best science and most rigorous methodologies into effective solutions.

    • Find promising solutions in nature and climate tech:

      Identify new prospects in nature and climate tech offering breakthrough technologies and insights

    • Evaluate the quality and credibility of science behind the product:

      Cut through the glossy slide decks to understand the solution, its potential, and the rigor behind the science.

    • Map market opportunities:

      Pinpoint emerging opportunities in adaptation, resilience, and nature-positive solutions.
