Work Background
WangariFounder & CEO
Jan. 2024Paris, Île-de-France, FranceMany financial professionals think that sustainability is just a regulatory burden. Extra work. Unnecessary costs. Not us. At Wangari, we believe that in allocating capital towards businesses that provide value not only to their customers and shareholders, but also to the planet. We believe that this sort of capital allocation will also make investors’ pockets fuller in the long run. We believe that win-win-win situations can be initiated by sharing valuable ideas and informing financial professionals about what’s shaping up the planet. A win for them, a win for their clients, and a win for the wider world.

AXA ClimateScientist
Oct. 2022 - Sep. 2023Paris, Île-de-France, FranceI helped AXA Climate understand why climate disasters happen. I also earned my MBA while working there. Projects:
- Compound weather extremes: Weather extremes are becoming more and more common due to climate change. Sometimes two weather extremes happen at almost the same time, for example a flood following a huge fire. This can lead to much larger damages than the sum of those from a one-time flood and a one-time fire. I dig into the data to understand how often these compound weather extremes happen and how bad they are, in order to effectively insure our clients against this.
- Forest carbon sequestration: Forests are vital for our planet, because they are a home for many species, and also because they absorb 20% of the world's carbon. By analysing how much carbon a forest has absorbed in the past, I can project how much carbon they might absorb in the future, under various climate change scenarios. This will become a key tool for AXA Climate for entering the carbon credit market.
- Toxic seaweed: Sargassum, a type of seaweed that emits toxic gases while drying, is becoming more and more common on the coasts of the Caribbean, Mexico, and Florida. I developed an index to measure how much sargassum is on a coastal location at a given time. This helps our in-house consultants serve clients in coastal areas better.
- Climate risk screening: In a team of 5 consultants and data scientists, I analysed a ~30bn€ asset portfolio of a very large French company regarding its exposure to climate risks. We presented our findings and recommendations to the executive committee of the client.

Université Paris-SaclayResearch Intern
May. 2018 - May. 2019Paris Area, FranceA global analysis of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) concerning single top quarks is performed using software developed by the author. The results are on average five times more exact than the literature. This project marks an important milestone towards a global analysis constraining physics beyond the Standard Model in a model-independent way. This piece of work culminated in my master thesis. My results are also being used in a research paper on the same subject which I co-authored.

University of HeidelbergResearch Intern
Nov. 2016 - Jun. 2017Heidelberg, GermanyBachelor thesis and research paper: Simulation of Decays of a Higgs Boson to Particles Beyond the Standard Model.
CERNResearch Intern
Aug. 2015 - Sep. 2015Geneva Area, SwitzerlandConducting a precision measurement of the magnetic moment of an antiproton. Contributions:
- Development of numerical methods to predict frequencies of anharmonic oscillators
- Engineering of ultra-low-noise electronics
- Development of a full interactive simulation of the electric field of the entire measurement apparatus
