In detail:

Elizabeth has worked across North America and the UK in finance, commodity trading, and consulting. She started her career in market risk at an investment bank before completing her Master’s in Finance. Subsequently, she transitioned to commodity trading, where she developed a data-driven framework to identify, quantify, and manage the opportunities and challenges of the energy transition across a portfolio of commodities. She worked in both Houston and London before joining Baringa to develop climate risk solutions for investors. 

At Baringa, Elizabeth is leading decarbonisation and climate projects for clients across diverse industries, including metals and mining, trading, and financial services. The primary objective of her work is collaborating with organisations to integrate sustainability into their strategy, investment decisions, operations, and disclosures. She leverages her technical background to translate analysis into practical, applicable solutions. Through this approach, Elizabeth helps clients succeed in achieving their climate and sustainability objectives. 

Outside of work, Elizabeth can be found cycling around Richmond Park or the English countryside and enjoying a football match with friends and family. She also enjoys travelling and experiencing new cultures.
