About

I build and finance renewable gas platforms that turn waste streams into profitable decarbonisation infrastructure across the US and Europe. I lead Global NRG Advisory & Renewables, bridging project finance, feedstock strategy, offtake, and execution for RNG, SAF, and waste-to-value projects. Over the last 3 years, our team has structured £1.5bn+ in mandates, delivering solutions for food processors, distillers, airports, and corporate decarbonisation roadmaps. We don’t just evaluate data — we turn it into investable assets, scalable platforms, and ESG impact. That’s why we built Insights+ — the same models and frameworks we use internally, now available for partners and investors who want actionable clarity, not noise. We help: • Corporates with organic waste or decarbonisation targets • Investors seeking yield in renewables infrastructure • Developers needing capital, offtake, or strategic alignment Let’s talk if: – You generate >1,000 tonnes/year of organics – You want real returns on RNG/SAF assets – You want to turn ESG into revenue

    • Chief Executive Officer
      Aug 2024 - Present · 1 yr 11 mos

      Providing the commercial, financial, and strategic architecture that underpins scalable renewable gas and sustainable fuels platforms. As CEO of Global NRG Advisory, I lead a specialist advisory business focused on origination, capital structuring, and investment-grade project design across RNG, biomethane, SAF, and waste-to-value infrastructure globally. Global NRG Advisory sits upstream of development and capital deployment, working with corporates, investors, and developers to turn complex decarbonisation and waste challenges into bankable, financeable projects. The advisory platform is tightly aligned with — but structurally separate from — Global NRG Renewables, allowing us to both advise and sponsor projects without conflict. Role & Scope Lead project origination, screening, and commercial structuring Design investment-grade frameworks (feedstock, offtake, incentives, risk allocation) Advise on capital strategy across equity, debt, and strategic partnerships Support corporates converting waste and emissions liabilities into revenue-generating assets Provide platform-level insight to investors seeking exposure to renewable fuels infrastructure Scale & Signal Mandates & pipeline: Advisory involvement across projects representing hundreds of millions of dollars of potential capital deployment Geography: Active across multiple U.S. states and the UK, with international expansion underway Capital counterparties: Regular engagement with infrastructure funds, strategic investors, and institutional capital.
