ESG Lead

Third Bridge | August 2025

Building an ESG career from the ground up

When […] joined Third Bridge during the COVID-19 pandemic, she wasn’t sure what to expect. What she found was a culture that invested in people, valued curiosity, and opened doors. Which, as it turns out, was a culture perfectly suited to her ambition, open-mindedness, and drive for discovering what comes next. Today, she’s our ESG Lead, a role that didn’t exist before she made the case for it.

Finding the right fit

[…] joined Third Bridge as an Associate in the Private Equity team, working remotely from New York during lockdown. The pace was fast, and sometimes the topics were unexpectedly niche. She laughs:

“Lots of finding experts, cold calling, and trying to get them matched with projects. Now I know far too much about things like astroturf and canned coffee.”

With a background in sociology, she hadn’t planned on a career in finance, but Abigail soon found that she fitted right in at Third Bridge.

“Something that really stuck out to me was the mentorship structure. At every stage, you’re matched with somebody who’s dedicated to your development. That sounded really interesting to me.”

Even as she learned the ropes remotely, […] found herself pulled in by the people and culture.

“Everybody I met was supportive and nice and seemed keen on growing people. That’s when I started feeling loyal to Third Bridge.”
