The common thread across my eight years in climate work is less the domain than the problem type. I work with complex, probabilistic information that requires comfort with decision-making under conditions of uncertainty.
I’m a generalist by nature and a synthesizer by habit. The work I’m best at sits at the boundary between technical rigor and practical reality — understanding enough of the underlying material to be able to stress test assumptions and whether the methodology holds, and enough about how decisions get made (and who makes them) to know what form an argument needs to take to land.
Currently
At Oxford Properties — the real estate arm of the OMERS pension fund with ~$70B AUM — I built their physical climate risk program, including framework and methodology design, climate data infrastructure, and integration into investment, asset management, and development strategy. That included working with climate data providers to help shape tools that actually serve portfolio decision-making rather than just reporting.
