Blunomy is an international strategic advisory firm, dedicated to accelerating the climate and environmental transition of its clients**.**

We have been operating since 2007, previously trading as Enea Consulting, and continue to expand our international team. Our high performing, multidisciplinary team of 120 is based across 6 offices: Melbourne, Sydney, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and London.

Our team is composed of business leaders coming from the industry (e.g. Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz, previous CEO of ENGIE, Yann-Gaël Rio, previous SVP Agriculture at Danone, Sebastien Guillo, previous head of Strategy and Corporate Coverage at HSBC), long-lasting advisory professionals and transition experts (e.g energy resources, infrastructure, circularity, nature, carbon, impact).

What differentiates Blunomy in the market is its capacity to:

  • Connect Sustainability to business strategy and corporate financial value

  • Act as a strategic and operating partner to our clients. We position ourselves as clients’ partners rather than consultants.

  • Bring core and independent transition expertise coming from our 17-year track record on climate transition and our global network of experts

  • Develop tools and methodologies to scale the impact of our advisory work

We are looking for a passionate and engaging Principal to work primarily with Financial Institutions clients (Banks, Asset Managers, Asset Owners) to join our team in Europe.
