- Capital Formation: Lead institutional equity fundraising, structured debt transactions, project finance, and other financing initiatives to support multi-billion-dollar infrastructure development.
- Infrastructure & Project Finance: Oversee financial modeling, investment analysis, project economics, financing structures, and capital deployment across power generation, data centers, AI infrastructure, and related assets.
