McCrae Brown

As a young professional with over 5 years of experience in finance and a deep interest in sustainability, I’ve had the opportunity to develop skills in investor relations, particularly around ESG initiatives. I’m passionate about helping companies communicate their sustainability efforts to investors and ensuring that corporate strategies align with long-term environmental and social goals. With a knack for building relationships and delivering clear, engaging presentations, I enjoy working with both investors and company leadership to show how sustainability can drive financial success. I’m excited to continue growing my expertise and contributing to impactful, future-focused business decisions.
