Background

About Katie Elder

Analytical and creative strategy and sustainability consultant. I help businesses tackle complex, high-stakes challenges through data-driven insight, rigorous analysis and actionable recommendations. I advise major global organisations, from asset managers to corporates, on projects spanning investment thesis development, impact fund due diligence, investor strategy, ESG investment playbook development, integrated energy solutions, climate resilience strategy, market sizing, competitor benchmarking and regulatory analysis. I thrive on the intellectual rigour, diverse project landscape and direct client engagement that consulting offers at a globally leading real estate management consultancy. Naturally curious and commercially minded, I bring a rare blend of analytical depth, commercial acumen and stakeholder management to help clients unlock long-term value in a demanding market landscape. I love leading projects and collaborating with motivated teams — sharing expertise, building capability and continuously learning to deliver results that matter and push the boundaries. Highlights include: Crafting a European transition fund thesis for a $9T AUM asset manager, identifying and valuing cross-market opportunities to optimise portfolio returns Collaborating with a leading asset manager to define market-leading capabilities and develop an ESG investment playbook underpinned their first third-party capital raise Shaping decarbonisation and climate resilience strategies for global portfolios Outside of work, I’m happiest being active outdoors — whether playing golf, netball, running or hiking. I’m passionate about encouraging more young women to discover golf: it’s a sport for life that connects generations, offers friendship and provides friendly competition, plus a whole lot of fun!
