1 May 2026 - The Investment Leaders Group (ILG), the insurance industry leadership group facilitated by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), has announced that Elliot Cyriax is its new Head (as Senior Programme Manager).
The ILG, convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, brings together leading pension funds, insurers, and asset managers working together to achieve the collective goal of a sustainable investment chain achieved as an outcome of the investment process alongside the generation of robust, long-term returns.
Elliot joins CISL from his role as Head of Strategy and Programmes from Bankers for NetZero. Here, Elliot led cross-industry sustainable finance initiatives with banks, asset managers and government on real-economy decarbonisation, transition finance and decision-useful ESG reporting.
Quote from Elliot:
"I’m delighted to be joining the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership as Head of the Investment Leaders Group.
At this stage in the transition, the challenge is no longer a lack of ambition or capital - it’s about execution. The focus now must be on developing scalable, investable opportunities across energy, nature and resilience that institutional investors can back with confidence. This means closing the gap between insight and implementation by turning rigorous, academically grounded research into practical solutions that investment teams can use to better understand risk, assess returns and allocate capital effectively.
I’m looking forward to working closely with members of the Investment Leaders Group and the wider industry to help shape the thinking and frameworks that underpin better capital allocation and support long-term value creation and real-world impact."
