Prerana Tirodkar

My name is Prerana, and I go by Pre. I help organizations translate sustainability and decarbonization goals into measurable business outcomes by improving access to reliable, transparent ESG and operational data. My work bridges enterprise technology, sustainability strategy, energy management, and finance to make climate actionable, auditable, and scalable. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve partnered with Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, REITs, and asset managers representing multi-billion-dollar AUM to measure and manage climate, capital, and compliance risk across diverse asset classes and value chains. I’ve led enterprise-wide implementations of sustainability software, built ESG data workflows, conducted double materiality assessments, developed GHG Protocol–aligned inventories, modeled financed emissions (PCAF), and leveraged automation and analytics to quantify Scope 3 and value-chain emissions across complex portfolios. This work strengthens data coverage, identifies carbon-intensive areas, and informs decarbonization pathways that align with financial performance, regulatory expectations, and long-term value creation. Building on that experience, I architect audit-ready solutions and Power BI dashboards that benchmark energy performance across portfolios using Energy Use Intensity (EUI), Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and ENERGY STAR metrics. These tools provide executives and investors with actionable insights to evaluate asset performance, plan clean-energy procurement, and assess opportunities to improve net operating income (NOI). In parallel, I design governance frameworks and data controls that ensure readiness and investor-grade assurance for reporting frameworks and investor benchmarks like CSRD, CDP, GRESB, Building Performance Standards (BPS), and California SB 261/253. With a foundation in Software Engineering (Mumbai University) and a Master’s in Sustainability Management (Columbia University), I turn net-zero ambition into operational strategy. I believe real progress comes from bold ideas, radical innovation, data-driven decisions and intentional collaboration. I love building systems and partnerships that help teams make sustainability accessible and impactful for everyone. Grateful to be one of those lucky people, who gets to do for a living, what I'd do anyway! https://preranatirodkar.com/
