@joshchafetz The 6-8pm shift is the best shift!

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

@joshchafetz If you drive up, you can finally meet our kiddos, and we can knock some doors together. Still time!!

Happy New Year! Not gonna lie 2024 feels like a high-variance year! Good luck to all of us.

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

@Davis_StevenJ And what a Board Chair, too!

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

Thrilled and honored to have this amazing group helping us build Watershed.

[Watershed @watershed]

Announcing the Watershed Policy Advisory Board: a group of leaders who’ve built the foundations of global climate policy at the SEC, TCFD, CDP, UN, and beyond, chaired by @MarkJCarney.

We’re excited to work together to help companies translate climate policy into real results.

The Economist on @watershed, climate talk reaching bars and pubs, and our latest customer, @Walmart https://t.co/BtLPE8DVkR

Finally a big thank you to @uciess for letting us borrow Steve for a bit. I am certain both we and the academic community will benefit from the cross-pollination.

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

I couldn’t be more excited to have @SteveDavisUCI joining Watershed this week as our Head of Climate Science. A 🧵

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

In particular, we just posted another leadership role: Head of Policy and Stakeholder Engagement. This person will lead our team working with the many groups setting the standards for carbon accounting, corporate decarbonization, and disclosure.

[Watershed @watershed]

For all the recent progress on corporate climate, one problem looms large: the bottom of this iceberg.

Today we’re introducing Watershed Finance: a new climate toolbox to help the financial industry address this hidden mass of global emissions.

@h_collinder @hausfath We will be hiring for a climate/energy economist @watershed. Posting coming soon, but anyone interested should feel free to message me on LinkedIn in the meantime.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

Academia can be great (at least at times), but for climate/energy folks frustrated with academia there has never been a better time to explore impactful options in the private sector or non-profit space. Here are a few exciting positions available now:

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

If this excites you (and it should!), come join us. Here's one role I just posted that I'm especially excited about. This leader will be core to the future of Watershed.

But check out the whole jobs board. There is so much important work to be done.

When I left my last job, I made a bit of a cryptic promise to announce my next gig soon. Amazingly, that was four months ago now, which passed by in the whirlwind of a 📈 start-up. But here I am! https://t.co/hXGpN3F2A2

[Michael Steffen @michaelsteffen]

But the most consistently exciting part of the work is our customers -- who are raising the bar every month for corporate climate ambition, and bending the arc of global emissions to zero. Behind each of these efforts is an amazing climate lead. https://t.co/Q5nFBHiVus
