She holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Master of Arts in International Relations from the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
Listen as Kaitlyn and Leela discuss the private equity vs. the public markets perspective on ESG. As a baseline for this conversation, Leela reminds us what defines ESG. She explores the three overarching trends for ESG: regulation, climate, and ESG data plus provides insights from work done by the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Private Equity Task Force (link below).
Like many of the previous guests on this podcast, the ESG-related path was not straight but one filled with exciting adventures that prepared Leela for the positive impacts she makes today.

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner. Join Kaitlyn Allen, Amanda Hsieh and Erika Schiller for thoughtful, nuanced conversations with industry leaders and subject matter experts that explore the complexities about the risks and opportunities connected to (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial and (G)overnance. We like to say that “ESG is everything that’s not on your balance sheet.” This leaves room for misunderstanding and oversimplification – two things that we’ll bust on this podcast. We will NOT deliver one-size-fits-all perspectives; we go beyond the headlines to offer analysis of ESG trends.
