Mission
“Everything begins with the science” - Professor Jerry Skees, Founder and Board Member Global Parametrics was founded in 2016, by Jerry Skees and Dan Bierenbaum. Their vision was to leverage advances in climate science, data modelling and financial engineering to build the tools needed to understand, manage and mitigate the risks of extreme weather and natural disasters anywhere in the world. Their belief was that resilience to these natural events is fundamental to sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction and the realization of human potential. This vision was shared by the British & German Governments to build a unique business, with a singular aim – driving impact through innovation, by being a catalyst for new ideas, a multiplier of existing efforts and a global leader in parametric product design and distribution.
