Engagements tailored to make decisions in the room.

 

Sometimes a leadership team needs to compress a year of learning into a single hour. Other times, it is private counsel before a vote.

What is constant? A vetted expert, a transparent record, aligned to the outcome, available when the decision cannot wait. This is the gap Fern Fitzgerald was created to close.

Speaker Engagements

One voice. One room. The hour that changes the quarter.

A single keynote or panel appearance from a vetted climate expert — matched to the audience, the sector, and the strategic moment. We handle sourcing, credentialing, and briefing. The speaker arrives ready to move the room, not just fill it.

  • Leadership summits

  • Board off-sites

  • Investor days

  • Industry conferences

Thought Leadership Programs

A series of conversations. Each one building confidence and foresight.

Multi-session programs that build climate fluency across a leadership team — from a framing keynote through working sessions, scenario exercises, and executive briefings. Structured to produce a decision, not just a conversation.

  • C-suites preparing transition plans

  • Enterprise risk committees

  • Cross-functional climate task forces

Advisory Relationships

An expert voice in the rooms where strategy is actually determined. Quiet, consistent, on call.

Retained access to one or more climate advisors embedded in your decision-making — available for board prep, regulatory review, investor positioning, and the calls that cannot wait for the next quarterly meeting.

  • Boards

  • CFOs building climate into capital allocation

  • General counsel navigating disclosure & litigation risk

The gap that Fern solves:

  • Speaker bureaus book keynotes: Their speakers fill a stage, but rarely meet the standard a board needs when a transition-plan vote is on the table.

  • ESG platforms quantify risk: They cannot walk a CFO through Tuesday’s audit committee and develop a perspective.

  • University networks produce the most rigorous research: They then lock it behind procurement cycles built for grants, not quarters.

A greater range of engagements:

  • A general counsel in Houston preparing for a CSRD greenwashing complaint.

  • A COO in Singapore modeling water scarcity across three disparate supply chains.

  • A board chair in Munich stress-testing a net-zero commitment before signing in front of investors.
