Trisha Taneja always wanted a career that contributed to building a more sustainable world. Her first stint in sustainability was in the non-profit sector, where she spent several years managing large programs in areas like global health and microfinance. When she decided to make the leap to the private sector because of her “firm belief that private capital can make a significant difference in accelerating the shift to a sustainable economy”, she first completed a Finance degree before joining Sustainalytics, an ESG rating agency.

As global head of green and sustainable bonds, Taneja was responsible for growing the issuer side of the business, new product development and commercializing ESG products for issuers.

Then Deutsche Bank came calling

“I’m quite entrepreneurial, and ESG is a fast-moving market, so the opportunity to grow the bank’s Sustainable Finance business further really appealed to me. It’s an exciting new venture,” said Taneja, whose...
