LionsWing Innovation develops, acquires and captalizes Clean technologies and services to mitigate the Climate Crisis now and into the future.

Climate Optimize Inc. was formed in response to the fact that climate change is real. Risk is an inevitable part of a changing climate and enterprises are obligated to consider these factors in their risk management approaches. However, very few enterprises are look beyond risk at their potential to be better positioned and to "optimize" the in a changing climate. They need to recognize they can be part of (or even lead) a shift toward practices to limit the impacts of climate change on their enterprise. Businesses can optimize for growth and stability in a changing climate. Companies will benefit financially, reputationally, and strategically. CO seeks companies to acquire or consult to maximize their value in a changing climate.

As Managing Director, Tom is responsible for the overall management of LionsWing, which seeks investment and/or acquisitions in select industries with emphasis on climate, weather, and water.

Greenville, South Carolina, Us

With decades of experience working with the water and wastewater industry, Tom Barr founded and served as CEO of Infrastructure Services Group LLC, with a specific focus on acquiring and funding companies that specialize in water and wastewater pipeline and manhole inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation for municipal and industrial clients. After months of development, ISG officially formed in early 2018 and acquired majority interest of 2 private companies in the buried pipeline water and wastewater infrastructure space, each with 20-plus years of experience and proven track records of success. They now operate as standalone subsidiaries of ISG, which is seeking other such companies to join Infrastructure Services Group via majority acquisitions or strategic partnerships.The US has 1.6 million miles of water and wastewater pipelines, much of which are more than 100 years old. According to the America Water Works Association, there is a major line break every two minutes and 2 trillion gallons of water are lost annually, costing $2.6 billion. ISG employs state-of-the-art trenchless technology solutions, which allow for the rehabilitation of pipelines while avoiding the far more expensive and extreme disruption that can result from conventional "dig and replace" methods.Alongside decaying infrastructure and changing demographics, extreme weather exacerbated by climate change is contributing to major pipeline challenges. ISG's corporate offices are strategically located in Asheville NC at The Collider, an innovation center focused on catalyzing solutions for climate change. Also known as "Climate City," Asheville is home to NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, with the world's largest repository of weather and climate data, providing ISG and its subsidiaries with access to valuable weather and climate expertise and information.
