• 9.5 million customers around the world. 

Top 3 responsibilities

• Combine experience and knowledge from core banking products with voluntary carbon market (VCM) insights to create new products that help further develop the VCM,
• Use concepts for new products to drive the internal process with Compliance, Legal & Risk stakeholders to further develop Carbon Finance propositions – ultimately leading to for example a BARC process for Carbon Finance (e.g. structured memo, leading CLR dialogue and incorporate associated feedback),
• Originate financing opportunities in the VCM, to ultimately support the structuring of Carbon Finance products in close collaboration with existing business lines and Compliance, Legal & Risk.
