Iceberg Data Lab (“IDL”), the independent green fintech providing quality, science-based environmental data solutions for financial institutions, today announces the appointments of Sophie Pruvost as Head of Sales and Guillaume Coutant as Head of IDL’s ESG Analysts team.
Both will play pivotal roles in serving clients and driving development opportunities based on clients’ needs and the increased demand for IDL’s products in both the UK and across Europe.
Sophie Pruvost will lead IDL’s sales team, identifying and analysing market trends, developing sales strategies, and building upon client relationships, as the firm sees more institutions choosing IDL as their primary ESG data provider. With over 15 years’ experience working in finance and ESG, Pruvost joins from ISS, where she most recently held the position of Executive Director and Head of Responsible Investment and Institutional Sales for France & Southern Europe. In this role, Sophie led ISS’ ESG and Governance Sales team.
Guillaume Coutant will support existing and prospective clients at IDL towards their sustainable transition journeys, by harnessing the power of IDL’s market-leading products to provide in-depth analysis of quality, transparent and accurate ESG data (including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions). Coutant joins from Emvest Partners where he was Partner and Capital Markets Analyst & Advisor. In this role, he produced ESG research reports, combining ESG metrics and technical analysis to provide trade recommendations, as well as designing ESG strategy audits to assist investment portfolio reviews.
Matthieu Maurin, Co-Founder and CEO of Iceberg Data Lab, commented: “We’re thrilled to welcome Sophie and Guillaume to the management team at Iceberg Data Lab, who both bring valuable expertise to our dynamic team. Their collective experience across ESG and financial services will enable us to enhance our offering and client experience at IDL and bolster our expansion efforts. Their arrival marks a significant leap forward in our growth journey and ensures we remain at the forefront of innovation in ESG data provision, as we continue to rapidly expand our capabilities and client base.
