Isla Finney MA (Cantab), MSc (Oxon), DPhil (Oxon), FRMetS, CMath, CSci

Director
“Any forecast needs an associated estimate of uncertainty in order to be useful.”

Isla founded Lake Street Consulting Ltd in 2014, and has 15 years’ commercial experience in the energy markets. For 12 of those, she has been providing operational weather forecasts, drawing on her academic work which looked into the sources of error in numerical weather forecasts which limit their accuracy.

Time on the trading floor means she is used to working to tight deadlines, making independent decisions and leading the pack in terms of forecast calls. Large monetary value associated with these decisions has honed her ability to communicate clearly and assess accuracy. Time working as a consultant has contributed to her ability to listen to clients and work towards their end goal.

Isla holds a MA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, a MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis and a DPhil in Applied Mathematics and Atmospheric Physics, both from the University of Oxford. Her past employers include Entergy Koch Trading, Merrill Lynch, D.E. Shaw and ILEX Energy Consulting.

Delivering top quality solutions in a high-pressure environment is Isla’s norm

About Lake Steet Consulting

Lake Street Consulting's aim is to make weather forecasts and energy market information more accessible to businesses.

Whilst you can get generic weather forecasts easily, one needs a relatively high 'threshold knowledge' about computer modelling of the weather to get the best forecast for a given business: Lake Street Consulting has that knowledge.

Many energy market consultants know the theory but haven't had exposure to markets: Lake Street Consulting has market experience and is willing to share insights.
