I bring over a decade of dedicated experience to driving impact in the energy sector. My expertise lies in orchestrating large-scale initiatives that bridge innovation with real-world application. Specifically, I support public and private organizations working at the forefront of the energy transition. I specialize in bridging technical innovation with practical execution—designing impactful programs, accelerate technology deployment, and connect with the broader ecosystem that enables scale.
Strategic Program Design & Management: I lead the conception, development, and execution of multi-million dollar portfolios for cutting-edge energy technologies, including renewable generation, energy storage, hydrogen, advanced nuclear, and carbon management solutions. This encompasses managing projects from ideation through oversight, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and delivering measurable outcomes. I work with public sector and philanthropic organizations to design competitive grants, prize competitions, voucher programs, and other non-dilutive funding mechanisms to address commercialization and adoption barriers, significantly speeding up the delivery of essential services and products to market. These programs are built for speed, equity, and measurable impact—and draw on lessons from managing portfolios exceeding $350M across clean energy sectors.
Technology Commercialization & Market Acceleration: My focus is on accelerating the deployment of innovative technologies, fostering market adoption, and building high-impact public and private partnerships. I help startups, agencies, and investors define and execute pathways to market. This includes technology readiness assessment, go-to-market planning, milestone design, and identifying barriers to adoption. I bring a deep understanding of the federal innovation system and how to align early-stage development with commercial outcomes.
Ecosystem Building & Partnerships: Scaling innovation requires collaboration. I bring experience engaging national labs, accelerators, industry partners, community stakeholders, and investors to build productive relationships across the commercialization pipeline. I excel at building and maintaining active engagement with diverse stakeholders across entire clean energy value chains, including technology developers, providers, financiers, off-takers, and users, ensuring collaborative success and broad impact.
Policy Development & Operational Excellence: I excel at developing and implementing comprehensive operational frameworks for organizations, ensuring effective management, clear roles and responsibilities, and strict compliance with applicable regulations. This includes designing and formalizing critical business processes, developing robust policies, and creating the necessary operational documents to govern complex initiatives, manage cross-functional teams, and establish transparent go/no-go decision-making for large-scale portfolios.
Impact & Portfolio Evaluation: Designing for impact means knowing how to measure it. I develop custom frameworks to track portfolio performance, assess technology and market outcomes, and inform adaptive management. I can evaluate success of a program, whether a pilot or a portfolio of technology development investments.
