My job is to help businesses in the energy and commodities space implement, or improve, risk management solutions for their portfolios. Over the last decade, I have worked with a wide variety of organizations in the space including utilities, merchant wholesalers, hedge funds, and others—each of which has different needs. I apply my knowledge and experience to their specific portfolio, corporate strategies, and policies to help them build a comprehensive, robust, modeling framework of their risk drivers. My clients can then leverage analytics like Value at Risk, Gross Margin at Risk, Potential Future Exposure (and more) for decision analysis when it comes to hedge strategies, mergers and acquisitions, long term capacity planning, collateral analysis, environmental obligations, etc.Today’s energy portfolios are more complex than ever and are subject to rapidly evolving market conditions. Being flexible in your modeling approach is essential, and so is a deep understanding of new technologies and market dynamics (e.g. as non-dispatchable energy penetration increases in many power markets). I have had a long-standing interest in renewable energy and storage technologies in the US, and I especially enjoy working on projects which explore the coexistence of those technologies, conventional generators, and load.
