Hugo Pley-Leclercq | Project Director & Infrastructure Resilience Expert

As a Civil Engineer and Project Director at ORIS Materials Intelligence, I bring over 10 years of international experience in road construction and infrastructure consulting. I specialize in guiding infrastructure actors through the complex intersection of digital transformation and climate resilience. With a deep background in large-scale public works, including major road and water projects in East Africa. I now lead consulting efforts that leverage AI and machine learning to deliver data-driven climate vulnerability assessments.

My work is specifically focused on supporting Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and public authorities in aligning their portfolios with the Paris Agreement through rigorous quantification of climate risks, adaptation costs, and mitigation strategies.

Key Expertise for Climate Resilience:
– Strategic Project Direction: Leading complex, multi-factor assessments for large-scale infrastructure, ensuring projects meet national and international environmental ambitions.
– Climate Vulnerability & Adaptation: Expertise in identifying climate exposures and quantifying adaptation measures to de-risk investments and secure climate financing.
– Paris Agreement Alignment: Providing systematic methodology for GHG accounting and resilience planning to ensure long-term infrastructure sustainability.
– Project owner and MDB Support: Extensive experience delivering digital due diligence and resilience roadmaps for organizations like the AfDB, Road Authorities (Ivory Coast / Kenya) and Asian Development Bank (ADB).

I am committed to transforming the infrastructure sector by replacing fragmented assessments with unified, data-driven systems that empower decision-makers to build a more resilient future.
