The firm was sold to MSCI in 2009-10. Prior to that, he had served as Director of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in Geneva, and as a senior advisor to the Secretary General of the U.N. Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.His work at the WBCSD focused on the potential role of the global capital markets to drive systematic social, environmental, and economic change. Prior to that, he had been a senior partner in the strategy consultancy of KPMG in North America.

Dr. Kiernan has lectured on sustainable investment and finance in executive programs at the Wharton School, Columbia Business School, Oxford University, Stanford, and the London Business School, among others.
