How do we get to an energy economy that actually reduces climate emissions YoY? And how do we get there while still powering the development of people and nations that were left behind by the fossil-fueled industrial growth of the developed world that created this crisis in the first place? These are the daunting questions facing our generation. And yet, human ingenuity and the power of the marketplace are more aligned than ever towards equitable climate solutions. My goal is to build companies that, through passion, creativity, and discipline, can make a dent in the global emissions while making the benefits of clean energy accessible to all.
