Amy Davidsen is the U.S. Executive Director of The Climate Group. She has over 20 years of banking experience and most recently served as the first Director of Environmental Affairs at JPMorganChase responsible for environmental global policies and procedures.

Prior to establishing the Office of Environmental Affairs, she advised global Private Banking clients on their philanthropic efforts specifically on the environment, micro-credit, human rights, and venture philanthropy.
