Sustainable Finance Expert & Greenwashing Whistleblower
Desiree Fixler Biography
Desiree Fixler is a leading expert and one of the most influential in the practice of sustainable finance. She was the Chief Sustainability Officer at Deutsche Bank’s asset manager, DWS, when she blew the whistle on material greenwashing activities at the company, leading to a federal police raid, ouster of the CEO and the largest SEC greenwashing fine. Her whistleblowing action sent shockwaves throughout the finance industry and galvanized efforts to reform ESG disclosure practices.
Fixler has over 25 years of experience in sustainable finance and investment banking and now she serves a trusted advisor to financial institutions, NGOs and regulators including the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and the Monetary Authority of Singapore and guest lectures at Cambridge University.
She is a frequent media contributor and keynote speaker, providing expert insights on the ESG movement, the prevention of greenwashing, whistleblowing and risk management.
