I am a renewable energy executive with nearly two decades of experience building and commercializing utility-scale solar and energy storage platforms across North America and EMEA. My career has focused on business development at scale, identifying viable markets, structuring complex commercial and financing arrangements, and converting various renewable technologies into contracted, investable, and operating assets. I have led business development commercialization efforts across the full project and product lifecycle, including market entry strategy, utility engagement, development pipeline management, governmental partnerships, contract negotiation, construction and project financing, and SaaS-based sales services. My experience spans both regulated and merchant power markets, giving me a grounded understanding of revenue durability, risk allocation, and what ultimately drives bankability and scale. In addition to operating roles, I serve as an advisor and mentor to climate and energy technology companies, supporting go-to-market strategy, product-market fit, and early commercialization decisions. I am motivated by opportunities where business development is tightly aligned with platform strategy and climate impact.
Flux XII is a flow battery startup that began in the labs of the University of Wisconsin under the leadership of its CEO, Patrick Sullivan. I was fortunate enough to meet Patrick through the MIT Clean Energy Prize as a mentor. Since then, I have continued to support Patrick and his team as they consider ways to bring his chemistry designs from lab to deployments.
At Tesla I am leading special projects to promote deployments of energy storage in new markets across EMEA markets. I am currently leading all efforts to provide construction financing in EMEA. It started by developing a proof of concept with Harmony Energy and the Chevire project, which came online at the end of 2025. Since that initial contracting, I have driven the adoption of this structure as a new business line for the Tesla Energy team globally. Additionally, I am the head of commercial sales of our SaaS battery storage optimization service, Autobidder for EMEA. To date, I have added Autobidder deployments in our existing market of the UK, and have been the primary commercial negotiator for entering new markets in France, Poland, Germany, The Netherlands, and Italy.
The MIT Clean Energy Prize is a competition run by MIT each year for participants around the world to showcase their ideas on solving some of the world's biggest energy problems. As a mentor, I help the teams with their business model and potentially necessary adjustments to their products in order to have a great presentation and a go-to-market strategy.
As the Director of Storage Development at Redeux Energy, I facilitate the go-to-market strategy and greenfield development of energy storage and solar+storage projects.
As Senior Project Developer, I brought online Tesla's first wholly owned utility scale energy storage project, Gambit Energy Storage in the Houston zone of ERCOT. I was also responsible for negotiating long-term partnership agreements to deploy Tesla's proprietary market optimization software known as Autobidder.
