I am a Social Venturist, Impact Investor, Entrepreneur and, a licensed Professional Engineer with over 30 years of experience in the Energy Industry. I am the Founder and Managing Partner at BlackTech Capital and the Founder & CEO of Enliten. I have experience in creating, developing and growing companies in the Energy, CleanTech and Sustainability Sectors with a focus on Underrepresented founders.

BlackTech Capital was selected, by the World Economic Forum, as one of the most innovative investment funds which invest in people and planet-focused entrepreneurs.

Helping to develop and grow early-stage companies and their founders is a passion for me; it is all about helping others to make their dreams come true. Underrepresented founders have an advantage shaped by grit; their experiences give them unique perspectives on the big challenges facing society. In short, they tend to outperform in impact and in financial returns.

Note: According to a report by Morgan Stanley, there is $4 trillion left on the table by Venture capitalists by not investing in diverse founders.

In support of the above, I am a CleanTech/Sustainability Executive in Residence (EIR), Mentor or Advisor for Foresight Canada (Canada's Largest Cleantech Accelerator), Altitude Accelerator, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University - #1 World University Accelerator), the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce (Cleantech and Sustainability Program), University of Toronto’s Black Founders Network, Haltech Regional Innovation Centre, TechStars (Toronto, Tulsa and Global) and Founder Institute.
