When the physical world is outrunning models,

the result is mispriced risk, stranded positions, and misaligned investments that propagate through portfolios and institutions.

Dr. Pullen helps identify the strategic openings that emerge when fast-moving physical systems get ahead of the models, markets, and risk frameworks.

She advises capital allocators, insurers, reinsurers, asset managers, family offices, and risk, research, and advisory institutions on high-value decisions in a changing physical world.
