I am Chris, currently working as a Geospatial Data Engineer for Allianz Insurance near London. My day job involves integrating geospatial data of various kinds such as natural catastrophe, locational asset, and government data to construct data pipelines for our data scientists, underwriters, risks and actuary teams. I am especially interested in talking to people in the insurance industry on how we can take nat cat, political risk and climate insurance data beyond and towards longer-term (and neglected by industry) EA aligned risks such as various Global Catastrophic Risks and any intersection thereof.

I have done research work previously on GCR focusing in nuclear resilience and neglected tipping points in GCR with the Odyssean Institute. As well as computer vision remote sensing based research for disaster management in refugee camps for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. I used to work in a major ESG ratings companies and could talk about the pros, cons, and limitations, but my knowledge is probably out-of-date, and you would be better finding someone more relevant.

I am interested in talking to people overall in general about systemic risks, system modelling, GCR (especially infrastructure and logistics), poverty reduction, and geospatial data. Especially how key private industries such as financial services and insurance and contribute towards GCR risk reduction.
