A leader in Booz Allen Hamilton’s civil business, Richard Goffi has a passion for solving multifaceted challenges. He likes to tackle big, complex things — like the nation’s need to transform rapidly to achieve climate security.
Goffi is focused not only on helping clients tackle the climate crisis head on, but also on seizing the immense opportunity confronting climate change presents for transformational thinking.
“With a climate crisis that threatens the global economy and security, the U.S. has committed to making climate considerations an essential element of policy to avoid catastrophic impacts,” Goffi said. “Achieving these lofty goals requires innovation and new technologies that not only help achieve decarbonization goals, but also leverage vast amounts of data to inform and guide adaptation and mitigation to the increasing risks of severe storms, flooding, drought, wildfires and climate-related disasters.“
