Some Background

Senior advisor to organizations on all aspects of affiliates' U.S. operations including leadership, strategic, and management tools and processes for accelerating success.

Translation:
We get down in the weeds together and solve problems in the development process. Contracts, finance, PPA's/ESA's, MIPA's, EPC agreements, milestone payments, land leases, financial modeling, regulatory hurdles, procurement, permitting, and much more.

Working with clients across the globe, learning the skills and best strategies for solar development is paramount for momentum and success.

Collaborating with a host of stakeholders like attorneys, engineering firms, venture capital, private equity, sponsor equity, debt products, and landowners has left significant lessons over the last two-plus decades to create this "overnight success".

Being close to what you do each day can obscure the big picture. It can be overwhelming at times to know what to do and when to do it.

There is always too much to do and not enough time. Implementation seems to come down to the daily priority checklist.

Everything else is on hold. Does everything become urgent and less becomes important?

Does this sound like how your day is? If so, I want to help you.

Often financing these through Wall Street is difficult for Main Street.

Good news: there is a path for you and your client.
