Visakhan Vythilingam

I am a Consultant at KPMG Australia within the Climate Change and Sustainability Division, and I strive for a career with purpose and impact.

PROFILE

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and Bachelor of Applied Finance at Macquarie University. My aim is to have a career where I can optimise social impact- specifically in the sustainability and climate change space. Currently, I also enjoy researching ESG issues, climate policy and ethical investments. I joined Altiorem to foster my interest in this space, create impactful insights and meet with like-minded and passionate people. I have co-founded Greenfluence, a podcast and community aiming to empower young professionals and people in the climate change, sustainability and responsible investing spaces.
