Dave Scott Email & Phone Number

I am a manager on Capital One's Climate Strategy team, helping create and drive our enterprise environmental sustainability initiatives. As part of my role, I synthesize changes in the rapidly evolving climate policy, regulatory, technological, and operational guidelines to identify opportunities and challenges for our business, and leverage these insights to influence our strategy.During my time at Guidehouse as a Senior and Managing Consultant, I leveraged my experiences and skills to deliver sustainability solutions to commercial clients across their sustainability journey. I helped businesses with determining current and future emissions, setting targets to reduce those emissions, creating an actionable plan to reach emission targets, implementing those actions through Scope 1, 2, & 3 decarbonization levers, and identifying, managing, and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities. My most significant projects included helping corporations develop and implement renewable PPA strategies, analyzing climate scenarios and quantifying climate risks and opportunities in-line with TCFD methodologies and ESRS E1, and creating a decarbonisation strategy with near and long-term science-based targets, including Scope 3 GHG emissions.I am a rigorous problem solver and clear communicator, a dedicated teammate, a quick and motivated learner, and a committed leader who gets results. At Capital One Canada, I gained significant leadership experience through Operations and Product Manager roles. I learned to effectively partner with and influence detail-oriented technology leaders as well as high level risk-focused executives, auditors and compliance leaders. I led teams across multiple business areas to identify, analyse, and implement fixes to longstanding and previously undetected issues. Products developed under my leadership led to greater transparency, efficiency and reliability to work done across the company.I'm educated as a mechanical engineer specialized in environmental engineering and sustainable energy and have deepened my knowledge of climate change and associated impacts over the past years. I believe that climate change is the single biggest risk, but also opportunity, of this century.

Listed skills include Matlab, Finite Element Analysis, Solidworks, Cfd, and 10 others.
