At Clean Earth Innovations LLC, we drive transformative carbon mitigation solutions to help ensure a sustainable future. We focus in the development and execution of large-scale nature based emission reduction projects and deployment of clean-tech innovation.

I’m passionate about bringing innovation to life. As an investor and strategic advisor, I help companies in the renewable energy industry bring game-changing technology to market. I provide guidance on go-to-market strategies, strategic partnerships, and company growth. I like to say I help companies make original mistakes—they learn from my successes as well as any challenges I’ve encountered throughout my career so that they can avoid similar pitfalls. This allows companies to progress rapidly toward their respective goals and objectives. I also help companies establish a strong network or ecosystem that I can bring to bear at the right place and time. I work with both newer and established companies. Currently that includes: • MayMaan: MayMaan’s Aquastroke system runs a traditional piston engine on 70% water and 30% ethanol, requiring no gasoline or diesel. It maintains exceptional efficiency with clean combustion. It has numerous applications for power generation, including EV vehicle chargers, cell tower generators, marine power and home generators. • Compass Carbon, LLC: This carbon sequestration project developer and technology company focuses on large-scale improved forest management and avoided conversion projects with the aim of contributing to the reversal of global warming with sustainable solutions that offer environmental, social and financial benefits

I was a founding board member and initial investor for STAT-EI - cleantech SaaS company incorporating patents developed in conjunction with Florida International University (FIU). Its applications are deployed via a SaaS model and leverage artificial intelligence (AI)which integrate and optimize a micro-grid, battery storage and renewable energy production. I worked with the board on successful transaction to initially partner, then sell the company to renewable energy company, January 2024.

A founding board member, I became ProcessMAP’s President and Chief Strategy Officer to execute its growth strategy and support its innovation and position as a market leader. My responsibilities included corporate development, strategy, strategic relations, customer growth and retention and business development. I built strategic partnerships with leading global companies, including Stellantis (Chrysler Fiat), BMW, Goodyear, Scott’s Miracle Grow, Johnson Controls and many more. Through our corporate customer relationships, I gained insight on the strengths and challenges large companies face in terms of environmental compliance and worker safety. This insight allowed our developers to leverage Big Data, Cloud and Mobility to build a SaaS platform that would serve as the backbone in helping our customers manage and proactively mitigate corporate risk in the areas of Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Sustainability/ (ESG) management for our Fortune 1000 clients in 90+ countries. Our platform allowed our clients to easily access and maintain information and processes that improved employee safety and saved people’s lives. In 2022, the executive team and company shareholders executeda $MMM acquisition by Hg Capital, one of the world’s largest B2B SaaS private equity firms.

I was part of XL Techgroup’s founding executive team, which developed a proprietary methodology to create, grow and monetize market led innovation. We focused on identifying unmet market needs and channels, creating a unique and sustainably differentiated business model. In essence, we went looking for corporate problems that if we could solve, would move the needle for that market sector. We did this by partnering with Fortune 500 companies to understand problems they were trying to address and discovering IP backed technology to solve those unmet market needs. Then we would find the intellectual property and/or technology under development by universities or corporations, and grow that into a business partnering with one or more corporations that became the early adopters of the technology offering, with the end goal being an IPO or successful acquisition. Throughout this process, we would work with our Fortune 500 partners to ensure our companies were viable and had strong go-to-market strategies. Over the course of 9 years, we created several companies in the cleantech, renewable energy and biotech sectors that allowed global companies to substantially change the environmental impact they have on the world. These included: • A newco to develop a UN Methodology to sequester methane and CO2 generating carbon credits • A newco that creates renewable fuel and food by growing and processing biomass • A newco that processes waste generating sustainable fuel • A newco that uses unique blends of natural oils to create safe insecticides and pesticides

Renewable energy and food production company which invented proprietary intellectual property developed to cultivate, grow, harvest and process at scale algae and lemna.

One of Florida's first software technology incubator/accelerators and technology strategy company and helped launch a number of very successful companies including ProcessMAP Corporation and PetPlace. Semptor also provided strategic technology services.

Reston Virgina based B2B custom software services company focused on the Fortune 1000 market.As a Senior Vice President and Board member. Was part of the executive team that took the company public on the Nasdaq in 1999.

The first publicly traded global technology services company

I was part of a small group of Andersen Consultants/Accenture Managers who spun off to create a Technology Strategy and Services Company which we grew and ultimately sold to Cambridge Technology Partners.
