  • Communicate clearly and persuasively with stakeholders, especially through crisp, insight-rich presentations and executive briefings.
  • Manage and coach a high-performing team of quantitative professionals, fostering innovation, growth, and delivery excellence.
  • Stay at the forefront of external best practices, modeling methodologies, and sustainability data trends, interfacing directly with external stakeholders (e.g., peers, PCAF/CBA working groups)

  • Demonstrated ability to embed models into business-facing tools or digital products to drive real-world outcomes.
