The New Canaan Men’s Club will hear Friday from Allison Zucco, MBA, on environmental sustainability and climate risk, an increasingly recognized topic as extreme weather events seem to be occurring with greater frequency and intensity. Zucco recently joined KPMG as a senior associate in its Climate Risk Modeling and Valuation Risk team.
The Men’s Club meets Fridays in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church at 10 a.m., with the featured speaker scheduled around 10:40 a.m., following the business portion of the meeting.
In defining its Climate Risk team’s focus, KPMG explains: “More frequent and severe weather events are damaging infrastructure and disrupting supply chains. Transition to a lower carbon economy is bringing new policies, regulations and rapid changes to market dynamics.”
Zucco describes herself as being passionate about sustainability issues, leading her to recently joining KPMG’s environmentally focused team. Previously, she worked at Goldman Sachs in positions stationed in Singapore, India and London. She was responsible for a new team being migrated to India and served as a project leader on several global initiatives related to regulatory reform, including the U.K.’s Brexit transition.
She recently completed her MBA from Boston’s Northeastern University with a concentration in sustainability. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware in 2007 in marketing and international business.
The Men’s Club has openings for new members, men 55-years-old and above. For further information, email ncmens@ncmens.club.
