Fueled by his passion for diving deep into overlooked issues and his conviction that any problem can be overcome, Paul has built a career solving daunting challenges others miss or are unwilling to undertake�a pursuit that has taken him from the marbled halls of Washington, D.C., where he served as a senior aid, to salmon rivers in remote Alaska to the heart of the global financial system. Recognizing the need for an organization and team that could match his desire to build audacious solutions and forge transformative impact, Paul founded Topo Finance in 2017. Through their groundbreaking research, Paul and the team at Topo Finance have pioneered the field of climate-aligned corporate treasury management. They are the industry-leading experts and consult to the world�s largest corporations on how to transform their financial management into their most powerful lever for climate progress. Their breakthrough research and work is credited with uncovering �the largest remaining source of huge and hidden carbon emissions in our economy� and serving as a "Rosetta Stone for understanding why banks and the financial system are at the center of the climate crisis" by climate luminary Bill McKibben.
