Additionally, she is jointly responsible for data-related collaborations with external stakeholders. Krista works closely with the rest of the Client Services team to help disseminate Climate Bonds' data to partners who use it to build a variety of green and sustainable investment products.

She previously worked as a Consultant at the University of Cambridge's Centre for Sustainable Development followed by an ESG advisory role at London-based boutique firm Longevity Partners. She has also collaborated with impact-driven companies and investors, for example as an advisor to Sylvera Ltd, a start-up using machine learning to identify and carry out large-scale carbon sequestration projects, as well as UK-based VC fund Eka Ventures in helping to define their investment thesis and impact measurement approach.
