The urgency for cleaner energy and positive climate action requires all of us to accelerate the sustainable transition. The challenge is that the problems we seek to solve are complex, requiring collaboration from multiple technical disciplines, with both commercial and policy support. My career in academia, large industry, and the start-up world has shown me that the most rewarding experiences revolve around finding good ideas and bringing people together to make them a reality. I am proud of my track record designing solutions that integrate technology, strategy, and people’s capabilities, allowing each component to flourish along the way. Over the last several years, I have championed integration of new technologies, devised new business models, and rebuilt organizations to adapt to the rapidly changing environment - working in partnership with industry, academia, government labs, and the start-up ecosystem. My best days are when I get someone excited to join in trying something new. Recent Successes: - Co-founded a climate start-up to credit GHG emissions eliminated by the voluntary early retirement of active oil fields - Developed new business models for multi-national energy company, linking independent value chains with new technologies - Built a portfolio of commercial research projects in carbon capture & sequestration, plastics waste mitigation, and beneficial water reuse - Drove corporate VC investments in new technology to reduce costs, increase effectiveness, and improve safety
