Entelligent, a best-in-class climate data and analytics company,
today announced the appointment of Pooja Khosla as Chief Executive
Officer. This strategic decision positions the company for its next
phase of market expansion and innovation.
Khosla is a founding team-member and developer of the company’s
groundbreaking Smart Climate technology and the driving force
behind the commercialization of its vision. Her leadership has been
key in forging partnerships with financial institutions and
exchanges worldwide.
Khosla’s appointment comes as Entelligent is poised for
expansion, and continues to gain traction and validation in the
financial sector. The company’s leading-edge solutions are being
adopted by global banks, asset managers, exchanges and insurers to
improve investment returns and design high-performance financial
products.
Co-founder and Board Chairman David Schimel said: “Pooja is an
innovator, a rainmaker and an inspirational leader who is ideally
suited to scaling up the adoption and application of the company’s
data solutions.” Schimel shared a Nobel Prize in 2007 for his work
as a convening lead author of the second IPCC report.
“Pooja’s track record of driving revenue growth through
client-driven product development — rooted in partnerships with
banks, exchanges and data providers — will be critical to achieving
the company’s goals.” said Thomas H. Stoner, Jr., a co-founder and
former CEO.
Khosla takes the helm at a critical moment in the history of
climate investing. Market participants increasingly recognize that
the climate transition is a complex and material source of risk in
their holdings but also acknowledge that traditional ESG and
“green” strategies have fallen short. Unlike these approaches,
Entelligent’s methodology — which provides unique insight and
foresight to measure this risk — is entirely empirical and does not
reflect any external value system.
Amid these trends, Entelligent has seen its growth accelerate
among financial services providers worldwide. These include banks
and exchanges, such as Societe Generale and the Taipei Exchange;
insurers, such as Guardian Life and Principal Financial; and
distribution partners, such as FactSet and Solactive.
In recent years, Khosla has also played an increasingly critical
role in Entelligent’s successful fundraising efforts. The company
is currently raising $5 million to complete its Series A.
Khosla previously served as the company’s Interim CEO, as well
as its EVP of Client and Product Development and its Chief
Innovation Officer. An econometrician and a patent holder of
Entelligent’s technology and business model, she holds a Ph.D. in
economics from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
“It has been an honor to work alongside the Entelligent team,
and it will be a privilege to lead them,” Khosla said. “Like my
colleagues, I’m deeply committed to Entelligent’s vision of
empowering companies and investors with actionable insights about
their performance in the climate transition — leveraging the power
of the capital markets to drive us all towards a more profitable
and sustainable future.”
