An expert in carbon finance who formerly headed the world’s largest carbon credit company is the newest addition to the Executives in Residence Program at Columbia Business School (CBS), the school announced late last week.
Bruce Usher, who served as CEO of EcoSecurities Group from 2002 to 2009, will share his expertise in carbon finance with CBS students through guest lectures, collaboration with student groups and brown bag lunches in his new role as executive in residence. EcoSecurities, which was sold to JP Morgan in December 2009, became the world’s largest public carbon credit company under Usher’s leadership, developing more than 400 projects around the world, or approximately 10 percent of all projects approved by the United Nations under the Kyoto Protocol.
Usher has taught carbon finance and sustainability courses at CBS since 2002 as an adjunct professor in the finance and economics division. In his new role as executive in residence, he also will be available to counsel students on career planning, strategy and professional development.
