Nargess Ovesy
Senior Consultant, Africa
I help governments and infrastructure clients make better investment and planning decisions through data-driven insights.
I lead analytical work across energy, transportation, and infrastructure projects, focusing on forecasting, scenario modelling, and strategy development. I turn complex data into clear, decision-ready insights that support capital planning and long-term system transformation.
Before joining CPCS, I worked at Deloitte in the Sustainability and Climate Change practice, where I led modelling and analytics workstreams for government and utility clients. I supported projects on energy system planning, electric vehicle adoption, energy procurement strategies, and national climate initiatives. Earlier in my career, I worked at the Center of Transportation Studies at the University of British Columbia, developing predictive models and optimizing operational performance in transportation sector.
I speak English and Persian, with working proficiency in German.
