About

I am the Chief Executive Officer of Avangrid Power, leading an 11 GW operational fleet of utility scale generation assets and a development pipeline exceeding 20 GW across the United States. Our portfolio includes wind, solar, and battery storage projects that support growing electricity demand and long term energy infrastructure investment. Over more than two decades, I have worked across the global energy sector developing, financing, constructing, and operating large scale power and infrastructure projects in North America, Europe, and Asia. My experience spans strategy, project development, capital investment, construction, operations, and enterprise leadership. Prior to becoming CEO, I served as Chief Operating Officer of Avangrid Power, overseeing development, construction, and operations across the company’s generation portfolio and leading the execution of several large scale power projects in the United States. Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles within engineering and energy businesses, including Arup, SLB, Siemens Gamesa, and independent power producers, delivering complex infrastructure projects across multiple continents. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with executive teams, boards, investors, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders to drive growth, operational excellence, and long term value creation. I have had the privilege of leading diverse teams across development, construction, and operations, fostering cultures focused on safety, performance, collaboration, and continuous improvement. I believe durable businesses are built through strong teams, disciplined execution, and reliable infrastructure that supports economic growth and energy security.
