Kathy Baughman McLeod is Director and Senior Vice President of the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center at the international affairs think tank, The Atlantic Council. Working on the intersection between business and future environmental risk, her old job at Bank of America involved planning the investment of US$125 billion into eco friendly projects by 2025. She also led a team at the Nature Conservancy using natural infrastructure (and tailored insurance policies) to reduce storm and flood risk in low lying economies through Latin America, Australia, Asia, the US, and the Caribbean.
