ABOUT US
We spent 25 years quantifying credit risk. Then we saw the next one coming.
ORIGIN STORY
Quanturisk Analytics was founded by four Managing Directors from Moody's — the institution that defined how the world measures creditworthiness. Between us, we spent over 80 years rating banks, insurance companies, corporates, municipal entities and structured finance vehicles across Europe, the US and Asia.
Over those decades, we saw an increasing gap open up between the static accounting principles that underpin financial statements and the dynamic reality of the risks companies face. Financial statements were designed for a world where externality costs sat outside the system. That world is ending. Carbon pricing, climate regulation, litigation, and shifting market expectations are forcing these costs back onto balance sheets. But the accounting framework has not kept pace, and neither have the tools available to leadership teams.
The consequence is that every major corporate decision — investment, capital allocation, outsourcing, offshoring and nearshoring, supplier selection, strategic planning — is built on an incomplete picture of profitability. The risks are dynamic. The accounting is static. That disconnect is where value gets destroyed, and it is the gap Quanturisk was founded to close.
Existing approaches to closing that gap are either too abstract (ratings and scores without financial quantification), too narrow (single-issue tools that don't connect to P&L), or too opaque (models where the assumptions are invisible). We built Quanturisk to solve all three.
THE TEAM
Leadership.

Previously co-headed Moody's EMEA bank rating team from 2008-14, leading the analytical response to the European banking crisis. First-class economics degree from TU Berlin. Johannes founded Quanturisk on the conviction that externality costs are the next frontier of financial risk — and that leadership teams need the same analytical rigour for climate and externality exposure that they have always expected for all other risk dimensions — credit, market, and operational risk.
