CelsiusPro Group expands its Climate Resilience Solutions offerings through the hiring of a team with top-tier expertise in Disaster Risk Finance (DRF) for public sector, multilateral, humanitarian, and conservation organisations.

The team is joining Global Parametrics, which itself became part of CelsiusPro Group in September 2023. The new team, formerly members of the WTW Climate and Resilience Hub, are now bringing their expertise in project management and consulting to CelsiusPro Group.

The team consists of five professionals with more than 20 years of combined experience in disaster risk finance and adjacent disciplines, built upon project work on many of the most innovative and impactful programmes in the sector.

The expanded CelsiusPro Group Climate Resilience Solutions (CRS) team, which is based in London and Zurich, will be led by Kay Tuschen, Head of CRS since October 2023.

Kay Tuschen said: “We created the Climate Resilience Solutions team with the objective to deliver cutting-edge parametric solutions to the benefit of climate-vulnerable communities in the Global South. With this expansion of the team, we bring in brilliant people with an amazing track record in this challenging market. I am thrilled by the prospects for our team.”

Jamie Pollard, who is joining as DRF Lead, commented: “We are delighted to make CelsiusPro Group our new home. The company’s distinct value proposition, which integrates technology-enabled parametric insurance structuring and risk capacity for climate resilience projects, resonates strongly with both our expertise and interest. Together, we will continue supporting communities and organisations to build climate resilience in geographies that have been underserved to date.”
