Travis May

Climate Impact Advisor at .

Speaker

Travis began his career in the Economic Research department at the Federal Reserve Bank, where he developed county-level prosperity and financial stress indices. Most recently, as a Lead Data Scientist and Climate Impact Advisor at Fannie Mae, he led interdisciplinary research on climate risk, blending political-economic and historical insights with natural science and market dynamics to assess threats to mortgage finance. His work focused on physical risks (wildfire, flooding) and transition risks (e.g., NYC’s Local Law 97), while advancing climate resilience and ecological risk mitigation strategies.

A skilled communicator and advisor, Travis translates complex climate risk models and regulatory challenges into actionable insights for executives, regulators, and cross-functional teams. He has engaged with C-suite leaders, board members, and federal agencies—including the FHFA—to shape climate risk strategy, compliance, and long-term portfolio resilience.
