Wood Mackenzie Appoints Elena Belletti as Head of Carbon Research
December 06 2021 - 4:00AM
Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK), has appointed
Elena Belletti as Head of Carbon Research within the company’s
Energy Transition Practice.
Based in Madrid, Elena joins from the United
Nations (UN) Headquarters, where she had worked since 2015, most
recently as an economist in the office for financing sustainable
development. At the UN, Elena was the focal point on taxation and
climate, advising senior government officials from low-income
countries on the development of policies that generate revenues
while protecting the environment. She also focused on carbon
pricing and on the role of taxation in attaining
environmentally-related sustainable development goals (SDGs). Prior
to the UN, she was an economist for Palantir Economic Solutions and
an advisor at Eni.
Head of Carbon is a newly expanded role at Wood
Mackenzie, a trusted source of commercial intelligence for the
world's natural resources sector. Elena will lead a team of five,
responding to clients’ demands for tools and intelligence to help
them through the energy transition. This includes the assessment
and mitigation of their carbon emissions and an understanding of
the fast-changing landscape around carbon mechanisms.
Jonny Sultoon, Head of Markets &
Transitions, Energy Transition at Wood Mackenzie said: “Carbon and
wider greenhouse gas emissions are a strategic focus for a growing
number of clients in all industries. Elena’s appointment is
particularly timely post-COP26, as governments have renewed or
announced pledges to reduce both carbon and methane emissions to
mitigate climate change, and industry and government will have to
work collaboratively to align with these national commitments.
Elena brings a cross-cutting understanding of the issues and
governmental dynamics as well as stakeholder management experience.
She is ideally suited to lead our carbon team.”
Elena Belletti added: “It is an exciting time to
join Wood Mackenzie’s growing Energy Transition Practice. There is
increasing demand from clients for data and support on all aspects
of carbon, from emissions, price markets and mechanisms and
voluntary markets to nature-based solutions, mechanical carbon
removal and more. I look forward to working with such a talented
team as we help clients achieve a fair energy transition.”
