I lived in Belgium until 1987 and then moved several times with my family until I left for college. Those moves helped me formulate a more global perspective of the world and America for which I am grateful.Since 1999 I have worked in Finance and Energy. I was fortunate enough in 2007 to begin a career in the deregulated energy space. I currently work with management teams, building owners, purchasing managers, boards and risk teams to reduce their organization's energy costs and solve other energy related issues. I have a creative appraoach to problem solving that has served my clients well in a wide range of energy challenges. In 2011, my company was hired to create and implement NYC's largest multifamily energy buying program for a major property manager. During the 8+ years we advised the porfolio we significantly reduced energy purchasing costs and implemented a green energy program for over 500 buildings in the portfolio. I was the chief architect and driver of growth for this program including helping leadership understand the value of the large green energy initiative.My areas of expertise are: Deregulated Energy, Energy Buying, Risk Management, Energy Procurement, ESCO Dispute Resolution, Renewable Energy Certificates (renewable energy), Business Development, Client Relations, Contract and Agreement review, and Sales Leadership & Recruiting.
