How Chase is building a better working world

“My role is to work with PE firms and help bring the best of the EY organization to fully answer sustainability questions, bringing together tax incentives and an understanding of assurance expectations, and help delivering it in a deal-by-deal repeatable model. Be it integrated diligence, portfolio transformation, exit readiness, or fund-level strategy, I help to build a financially robust and operationally grounded ESG plan for the Private Markets.
