Becky Leeper is a Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation for Climate at Moody’s Analytics, working for the past 12 years with insurance and financial services organizations on deploying catastrophe models to understand climate and climate change risk. At Moody's RMS she leads client and partnership work to maximize opportunities for Moody’s climate models and data. This includes promoting the use of Moody’s RMS models, analytics, and data across a variety of climate use cases within banking, CRE, investment management, corporates, and governments.
By clearly understanding the impact of climate change, these organizations can quickly and accurately respond to regulatory reporting and be prepared when a large event such as a flood, wildfire, earthquake, or hurricane happens. Prior to RMS, Becky spent more than a decade partnering with financial firms in the use of models for valuation and risk management within fixed income. Becky holds a BS in computer science from Duke University.
