Eileen helps businesses understand how climate change affects operations, global supply chains, communities, and economies. She translates interconnected risks into practical strategies, investments, and partnerships that build long-term value creation and resilience.
Eileen’s expertise spans climate risk and scenario analysis, climate adaptation and business continuity planning, decarbonization, transition planning, and disclosure aligned with global frameworks. A central focus of Eileen’s work is understanding complex and cascading climate risks—how climate impacts interact with infrastructure dependencies, environmental pressures, market dynamics, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Her work connects climate action with governance, capital and resource allocation, operational and supply chain resilience, and measurable outcomes.
As an experienced facilitator, Eileen brings together boards, executives, operational teams, governments, multilateral development banks, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to understand shared challenges, build alignment, and develop actionable solutions. She is also an experienced public speaker and writer, translating complex climate and sustainability issues into clear, decision-relevant insights for diverse audiences.
Before joining BSR, Eileen was Vice President at Edelman, advising Fortune 500 companies on sustainability strategy, environmental performance, and communications. Earlier, at The Brookings Institution, she worked at the intersection of climate, global development, and economic policy.
Eileen holds a Master of Environmental Management from Duke University and a Bachelor of Science in International Business from the University of Connecticut.
