Two Decades at the
Frontier of Energy Change

I've spent my career sitting at a rare intersection: the technical complexity of the energy transition and the financial discipline required to fund it. From modeling clean tech equities at Morgan Stanley to leading clean transportation strategy at National Grid to advising the world's largest private equity firms at Guidehouse — I've seen this industry from every angle.

That breadth is what I bring to every engagement. I understand how capital flows, how regulators think, how technologies mature, and how organizations need to transform to stay relevant as the grid decarbonizes and mobility electrifies.

Windigogo is the platform where I bring that perspective to clients who are shaping what comes next — whether you're deploying capital, navigating regulation, or rethinking your business model for a net-zero world.
