About Richard

Independent strategic advisor with nearly 15 years of experience in sustainable finance and ESG data. I have navigated this market from various positions: institutional buyer at Caisse des Dépôts and BNP Paribas, then builder of sales teams at Vigeo Eiris, Moody's, and GRESB, eventually leading teams of 18 people and supporting the growth of revenue streams up to $20M+.
I currently undertake two types of missions:
- Strategic advisory for leaders and founders in sustainable finance, go-to-market strategy, commercial structuring, and aligning offerings with institutional needs.
- Support during consolidation and integration phases, an area I experienced firsthand during the acquisitions of Vigeo Eiris and 427 by Moody's.

What sets me apart: a 360° market view, direct network with institutional decision-makers (Tier 1 banks, asset managers, EMEA pension funds).
