About us
Meet the team making the world more resilient under a changing climate
Pushing the boundaries of risk mitigation
We believe in leveraging science and technology for the greater good. Our mission is to make the world a more resilient place under a changing climate.
Mitiga started as a spin-off from the National Supercomputing Center in Spain, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe. From there, we set out to bridge the gap between boundary-pushing science and forward-looking businesses.
How do we do it
We help customers in 20 countries build resilience to climate risk.

“Through machine learning, we can transfer data from data-rich countries to
data-scarce ones. Our methodology allows us to fill in the data gaps for every hazard we cover, and AI is allowing us to have that global footprint”
Alejandro Marti, CEO and co-founder
Meet our founders
Alex has over 15 years of international experience in developing and maintaining key relationships with industry, academics, and public sector representatives. Prior to Mitiga Solutions, he worked for the US Government, NASA, the UK Meteorological Office and Repsol. His transversal experience lies in using technology for climate change adaptation and natural hazard prevention. He is the chairman of the UN-ITU Focus Group on AI for Natural Hazards.
Mauricio has led the “Software Development” group at the Computer Applications in Science and Engineering Department from the National Supercomputing Centre in Spain for over 10 years. He has broad experience in the development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and complex software for the whole stack, from the hardware considerations to the application level.
Meet the Mitiga Advisory Board
Jean-Philippe Courtois dedicated four decades to shaping Microsoft’s global growth, from its early days in 1984 to his retirement in September 2024. Most recently, he served alongside CEO Satya Nadella as President and Executive Vice President, overseeing worldwide Sales, Marketing, and Operations, and driving transformation in cloud and AI.
Variously known as the “Godfather of Sustainability” and an “Ambassador from the Future”, John is acknowledged as one of the founders of the global sustainability movement. Mainly focusing on business and markets, he has worked as an advisor to an A-to-Z of businesses across the globe for 50 years.
Nina Shapiro has had over 30 years of broad global experience in international and project finance and business development. She held senior leadership and operating positions at the World Bank and its private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation, including as VP Finance and Treasurer of the IFC and as the World Bank Director of the Project Finance and Guarantee Department.
Katherine Neebe is Senior VP and Chief Communications Officer at Duke Energy. With leadership initiatives at Fortune 100+ companies – including Duke Energy, Walmart, the Coca-Cola Company and World Wildlife Fund – she has consistently driven enterprise-defining programs that resonate with a wide array of stakeholders.
“I’m fascinated by supercomputing, a world that Mitiga is tightly linked to. But the main reason I was delighted to join the Mitiga Advisory Board was that I conclude that climate science must become much more granular—this sewerage system, this factory, your home—both to mitigate risk across our economies and societies, and to alert all of us to the need to act.”
John Elkington, Global sustainability movement founder
Meet the Mitigators
Our science + tech team
We live and breathe science and tech: our passion is to bring the latest of it into climate modelling. Our team has published over 300 peer-reviewed publications and managed more than 500 Mn Euro in R&D budgets. We work with agility and transparency, to democratise access to climate risk intelligence without the
black boxes.

Impact & ESG
Our mission is to build climate resilience, defined as the ability to anticipate, adapt, and recover from climate extremes and long-term changes.
While our products are impact-driven, we focus specifically on how our company intentionally and deliberately contributes to climate resilience. We combine this with our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, ensuring that how we operate aligns with our values.
We have developed an Impact Strategy, which articulates our path to become the most trusted provider of climate resilience technology, empowering users to manage and adapt to climate risks across various regions and timeframes, using the following metrics:
Environment
Number of assets assessed for climate risk and clients using EarthScan.
Protection gap
People covered by humanitarian bonds or parametric insurance.
Risk modeling
Regions indirectly covered by physics-based models.
Low/middle-income countries
Number of countries with improved access to risk models and climate tech.
We also developed a Conviction-led ESG Plan focusing on themes that resonate with our beliefs. Instead of standard ESG metrics, we prioritize meaningful actions guided by internal volunteer teams who help shape our company culture and values, with the following themes in 2024.
Environment
Walking the talk. As a climate tech company, we track our own carbon footprint and contribute through data philanthropy.
Social
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) matters. We promote DEI, focusing on helping our team understand and champion these values.
Governance
In evidence we trust. In 2024, we emphasize knowledge and evidence, improving access to learning resources and creating an Advisory Board for strategic guidance.
