professional overview
I am an ESG and Data Analytics professional with over 12 years of cross-sector experience spanning financial services, education, and sustainability consulting. Today, I partner with clients across Europe and India to strengthen sustainability disclosures, benchmark ESG performance, and design credible transition roadmaps that translate ambition into measurable action. My work sits at the intersection of data, strategy, and sustainability. I specialize in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights using Python, statistical modeling, and BI tools such as Power BI and Tableau, enabling organizations to make informed, evidence-based decisions. I work closely with global frameworks including BRSR, GRI, and the EU Taxonomy, assessing transition maturity, evaluating material and circular economy strategies, and developing practical, gap-driven recommendations. Before moving into sustainability, I built my foundation in corporate client services at ICICI Prudential and Alchemy Asset Management, followed by several years in STEM education and curriculum design. This diverse journey allows me to bridge analytical rigor with clear communication, translating technical ESG requirements into strategic narratives that leaders and stakeholders can confidently act upon.

Recommendations
"I had the privilege to work with Anu on my ESG data project in the last 6 months. Anu is a person that keeps on amazing you with thorough work, creative ideas and fast deliveries. She really understands several fields of expertise (e.g., data & ESG) that she combines so well and presents her results in a very communicative, comprehensible manner. From creating data landscapes to revealing ESG stories from the data sources about single companies, industries and entire regions, Anu has the high-level thinking and the 'let's get things done' mindset to be of value in any project or team. I hope to keep working with Anu in the future."
