Chief Operating Officer at Greenbacker Group, LLC

During my short tenure as COO Greenbacker has experienced over 400%+ growth in AUM, 200%+ growth in operating revenue, nearly 1000% growth in the pre-operational contracted pipeline, and maintained world-class levels of operational availability. I have also built from scratch Greenbacker's technology backbone, Project Management Office, and been instrumental in building our Human Resources function. I am a jack-of-all-trades renewable energy professional with 15+ years of experience, a focus on optimization with an eye toward simplicity, and a very strong natural inclination towards the cultivation of strong relationships with employees and counterparties. 

As COO of Greenbacker I am responsible for achieving and maintaining world-class operational excellence for a rapidly growing investment company and independent power producer (IPP). I focus on increasing profitability per employee, minimizing cost per dollar of revenue, and maximizing megawatts under management per employee, while maintaining operational excellence across all disciplines of the company. I also oversee the pure-play operational disciplines of the company (Field Operations, Asset Management, Construction Management, and Performance Engineering), our Business Operations team, and our IT department. I also serve as the executive in charge of cross-departmental collaboration between the diverse silos of the Greenbacker business. 

I am a fierce advocate of positive work culture with a focus on improving the industry's approach to ESG endeavors and diversifying representation of the industry at all levels but with a particular focus on leadership.
