Season 4, Episode 7: Jimena Caballero Steps Out From Behind the Scenes at Gordian Knot Strategies
In this episode, Jay chats down with Jimena Caballero, Senior Associate at Gordian Knot Strategies, to explore her path from lab bench to climate finance, and what it's like building the tools GKS uses to screen climate projects.
Jimena breaks down how TRARO, GKS's seven-element investment screening tool, works. She also touches on her work with City Forest Credits and due diligence for a major U.S. airline's carbon credit portfolio. She then turns the lens inward on leading GKS's first-ever sustainability report, including the why GKS elected to offset the firm's footprint twice over.
Jimena's spent nearly 3 years helping build the tools behind a lot of what GKS does, and she's rarely been the one telling the story.
This time, she is. Give it a listen!
