Our People

Organisation

COESA (Centre of Excellence for Scenario Analysis) combines academic insight with senior practitioner expertise to advance the use of scenario analysis in business and finance. We work closely with the University of London, ensuring our approaches are grounded in cutting-edge research and academic rigor. This collaboration allows us to strengthen methodologies, data, and test their application across corporates, asset managers, banks, and funds.

At the same time, COESA is supported by a network of expert advisers and practitioners with deep experience in areas such as supply chain management, sustainability regulation, AI and model risk, and climate stress testing. Their practical knowledge informs how models are built, validated, and applied, ensuring that our work is not only theoretically robust but also relevant and actionable for organisations facing regulatory and strategic challenges.

Through this unique combination of academic partnership and practitioner input, COESA delivers scenario analysis frameworks that are both scientifically sound and operationally effective.
