My Work

Strategic Stewardship Advisor

Gregory combines decades of experience in climate change and social issues with a modern focus on AI-enabled stewardship. He specializes in creating the rigorous logic models required for AI to accurately analyze sustainable investing data and proxy voting trends at an institutional scale.


He has extensive experience with how investors assess corporate governance and sustainability performance, and how that directly impacts bond- and share-holding and proxy voting. Further, he understands how stewardship is evolving for investors, companies and regulators, along with the demands it generates for different stakeholders.


Governance Expertise

Gregory has significant experience analyzing corporate governance and sustainability topics quantitatively and qualitatively as a research analyst at J.P. Morgan, Bloomberg Intelligence and Trucost. He has published across a range of governance issues, including on low-carbon transition, green bonds, water scarcity, gender diversity, worker safety, Asia governance reforms, and executive pay. Gregory was voted the #1 ranked Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) analyst for 2017 in the Independent Research in Responsible Investment (IRRI) Survey by asset managers, and placed Top 3 for the years 2014-16.


Scaling Analysis with AI

Gregory leads development of the proprietary frameworks behind Canbury Insight's ProxyPro platform to automate the thematic analysis of thousands of proxy statements, ensuring that stewardship remains data-driven and consistent across global portfolios. The same approach is applied to analytical challenges like identifying physical climate risks across a company and scaled to an entire investor portfolio.
