About

Building durable platforms in power & finance

Entrepreneur, operator and finance executive with experience building businesses, raising institutional capital and structuring complex transactions across energy infrastructure and real assets.

I founded Nexus Renewables in 2020 and built the company from concept into a scaled North American renewable energy platform, raising more than $100 million of capital and growing its asset base by ~4x annually prior to my exit in 2025.

Today, I serve as COO of Julius Capital, focused on capital formation, structured finance, real estate monetization, acquisitions and development partnerships. My background spans capital markets, energy development, utilities and electricity markets, including roles at Scotiabank, IESO and leading energy companies.
