Seema is a servant leader, a culture sense maker, a process & data expert, and a longterm sustainability & sustainable finance thought leader. She brings systems thinking to solve strategic problems. She has a unique way of quantifying credit & compliance risk.

 

She created the standardised transformation methodology CTM (Change thru Movement) centred on entities purpose for their longterm sustainability, culture change, digital transformation, innovation/scale-ups, FIs' and corporates' disclosure of SEEM STPs (Sustainability Transition Plans) including purpose discovery and universal ESG metrics with comparable sustainability performance etc. CTM has two versions. The first (2018) became the foundation for the development & deployment of regTech product Compliance by Design (CBD) for corporate and investment banks with its reusable features around holistic credit risk ratings and underwriting accessible to others. It makes the bank clean, robust, purposeful and sustainable for the future. Its second version (2020-22), results in FIs and corporates' disclosure of SEEM STPs. It helps them become sustainable for the longterm and achieve their fair share of direct or indirect 1.5 degrees aligned climate goals and 2030 UN-SDGs inline with their sectoral pathways or local standards. SEEM STPs can be recommended to become part of entities’ sustainability report too. At the highest level these dir/indirect impacts will map with WBG’s scorecards’s 22 performance indicators. All these have become components of entity-level systemic change that shifts the culture of the organisation to longterm and away from command and control feeding back into the system and creates a movement across the organisation. Today SEEM is a brand in fintech and sustainability consulting.
