Seema is a servant leader, a culture sense maker, a process & data expert, and a sustainability & sustainable finance thought leader. She brings systems thinking and builds from first principles 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, innovation/scale-ups, digital transformation, standardised versions of just & resilient netzero transition plans including universal ESG metrics with comparable sustainability performance etc. and 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 quantified underwritings accessible to others. It makes the bank clean, robust, purposeful and sustainable for the future. Its second version (2020-22), results in direct or indirect deployment and disclosure of standardised versions of just and resilient netZero transition plans deploying full or part CTM for entities across the financial and real economy. It helps them become sustainable for the longterm and achieve their fair share of direct or indirect climate goals and all UN-SDGs inline with 2030 goals and 1.5 degrees pathway. At a minimum it includes Purpose Discovery and applicable qualitative and quantitative universal ESG metrics with sustainability performance that will be easily comparable upon third party review. Their standardised disclosure versions can become part of entities’ sustainability report too. Also a governance framework is embedded in these plans. At the highest level the dir/indirect impacts towards entities’ purpose aligning with their fair share of climate goals and all SDGs inline with 2030 goals and 1.5 degrees pathway, map with WBG’s scorecards’s client context indicators. All these have become components of entity-level systemic change and SEEM is a fintech and sustainability consulting company today.
