Bloomberg Appoints S&P Sustainability Unit Chief Lauren Smart as Global Head of Sustainable Finance
Mark Segal
February 17, 2026
Business and financial markets information service provider Bloomberg has appointed Lauren Smart, former head of S&P Global’s sustainability-focused business unit, Sustainable1, as its new Global Head of Sustainable Finance.
Smart has been serving as Head of S&P Global Sustainable1 since January 2025, after joining the unit as part of its start-up team in 2020. She initially joined S&P Global through the company’s 2016 acquisition of carbon and environmental data and risk analysis company Trucost, which she joined as a startup.
In her new role, Smart will lead Bloomberg’s sustainable finance business, with responsibility for strategy, growth and execution, and will also serve on Bloomberg’s Sustainability Oversight Committee, which provides oversight and approval of the company’s sustainability strategy, including the management of climate-related risks and opportunities, and approves firmwide sustainability policies and climate-related targets and commitments.
In a social media post announcing her new appointment, Smart said:
“I’m really looking forward to getting started with an exceptional team and working with clients around the world at a time of significant change across capital markets — from climate risk and energy transition to the rapidly evolving role of data, technology, and AI.”
Mark founded ESG Today following a 20 year career in investment management and research. Prior to founding ESG Today, Mark worked at Delaney Capital Management (DCM) in Toronto, Canada, most recently as the firm’s head of U.S. equities. While at DCM, Mark was part of the firm’s ESG team, responsible for evaluating and tracking the sustainability factors impacting portfolio companies, and assessing the suitability of companies for portfolio inclusion. Mark also spent several years in the sell-side research industry, covering the technology and services sectors. Mark holds an MBA from Columbia University in New York, a BBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto, and is a CFA charterholder.
