Jack Cumberlidge

Before commencing Princeton SPIA, Jack was an analyst at Australia's Department of the Treasury. In this role, he briefed decision makers on inbound foreign investment proposals. This involved balancing a number of considerations including national security, competition and the impact on tax revenue to determine whether applications were in Australia's national interest. More recently, he has worked providing whole-of-economy advice on climate and energy policy, with a particular focus on sustainable finance instruments including climate disclosures, green bonds and carbon markets. Jack has written interventions and briefs for the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group, and attended meetings for APEC's Sustainable Finance Initiative. Prior to his time at Treasury, he worked in Australia's Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on policies to further women's economic equality. Jack is a graduate of the University of Melbourne, where he studied economics and politics. In his spare time, he enjoys watching the NBA and is thrilled by the opportunity to watch Lebron James play in person prior to his retirement. At SPIA, he looks forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge held by both peers and faculty.
