About

Climate Infrastructure / Climate Tech Entrepreneur & Investor I have spent more than 25 years in the energy industry in roles ranging from private equity & credit investing as well as project finance, technology M&A and the management of large infrastructure construction projects. Over this time, I have been deeply involved in many renewable energy transactions across the wind and solar value chains. Prior to co-founding NeXtWind, I was a Partner at Qualitas Energy and a Managing Director at Centerbridge, where I was a member of the European Special Situations & Credit Team leading the firm’s energy and hard asset investment efforts. Prior to joining Centerbridge in 2014, I served as Managing Director of Strategic Value Partners (since 2006) working on some of the firm’s largest credit and special situations investments in Europe. Previously, I was a Vice President in Lazard’s Energy and Technology M&A teams. I began my career at Siemens AG in 1996 working across various functions in the firm’s technology and infrastructure divisions in the U.S., Asia and Europe.
