Top SchoolMark Westcott is a technology and sustainability leader with 11 years' experience building data-driven platforms that translate climate science into decision-ready insights for banks, insurers and asset managers. As co-founder and former CTO of Planetrics—acquired by McKinsey in 2022—he led engineering and product work to quantify, report and manage physical climate risk at enterprise scale. He blends academic rigor (PhD and MSc in Economics) with hands-on technical delivery, having led ML- and web-based projects (Scala, Python, React, Mapbox, AWS) that monitor deforestation and urban greenspace benefits. At McKinsey and Vivid Economics he translated complex climate economics into operational tools and client-facing analysis across Europe, North America and Asia. Now advising nature and economics ventures, he pairs startup grit with consultancy discipline to turn environmental science into usable, auditable business systems.
