BOULDER, Colo. – Entelligent, a best-in-class climate data and analytics company, today announced the appointment of Pooja Khosla as Chief Executive Officer. This strategic decision positions the company for its next phase of market expansion and innovation.

“Pooja is an innovator, a rainmaker and an inspirational leader who is ideally suited to scaling up the adoption and application of the company’s data solutions.” Post this

Khosla is a founding team-member and developer of the company’s groundbreaking Smart Climate technology and the driving force behind the commercialization of its vision. Her leadership has been key in forging partnerships with financial institutions and exchanges worldwide.

Khosla’s appointment comes as Entelligent is poised for expansion, and continues to gain traction and validation in the financial sector. The company’s leading-edge solutions are being adopted by global banks, asset managers, exchanges and insurers to improve investment returns and design high-performance financial products.

Co-founder and Board Chairman David Schimel said: “Pooja is an innovator, a rainmaker and an inspirational leader who is ideally suited to scaling up the adoption and application of the company’s data solutions.” Schimel shared a Nobel Prize in 2007 for his work as a convening lead author of the second IPCC report.

“Pooja’s track record of driving revenue growth through client-driven product development — rooted in partnerships with banks, exchanges and data providers — will be critical to achieving the company’s goals.” said Thomas H. Stoner, Jr., a co-founder and former CEO.

Khosla takes the helm at a critical moment in the history of climate investing. Market participants increasingly recognize that the climate transition is a complex and material source of risk in their holdings but also acknowledge that traditional ESG and “green” strategies have fallen short. Unlike these approaches, Entelligent’s methodology — which provides unique insight and foresight to measure this risk — is entirely empirical and does not reflect any external value system.

Amid these trends, Entelligent has seen its growth accelerate among financial services providers worldwide. These include banks and exchanges, such as Societe Generale and the Taipei Exchange; insurers, such as Guardian Life and Principal Financial; and distribution partners, such as FactSet and Solactive.

In recent years, Khosla has also played an increasingly critical role in Entelligent’s successful fundraising efforts. The company is currently raising $5 million to complete its Series A.

Khosla previously served as the company’s Interim CEO, as well as its EVP of Client and Product Development and its Chief Innovation Officer. An econometrician and a patent holder of Entelligent’s technology and business model, she holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

“It has been an honor to work alongside the Entelligent team, and it will be a privilege to lead them,” Khosla said. “Like my colleagues, I’m deeply committed to Entelligent’s vision of empowering companies and investors with actionable insights about their performance in the climate transition — leveraging the power of the capital markets to drive us all towards a more profitable and sustainable future.”
