Seasoned climate change and energy executive with expertise in renewable energy and M&A in the US.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned energy executive with over 25 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, specializing in mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning, power marketing, and corporate finance. My career has been marked by a proven record of closing complex structured transactions that drive growth and innovation in clean energy.
As the Co-Founder and Managing Director of an independent clean energy company, I lead efforts to decarbonize power-intensive sectors by delivering clean energy solutions tailored for data centers and industrial clients. My previous role saw me co-founding an independent renewable power producer, where I successfully drove the M&A strategy to acquire 1 GW of wind and solar projects, deploying over $500 million in U.S. capital.
Throughout my career, I have held key leadership positions at major energy companies where I was instrumental in launching an energy company in the U.S. market that deployed over $8 billion in renewables. My commitment to advancing renewable energy and clean power solutions is unwavering, and I am dedicated to creating a sustainable future.
