Shaun was the first CEO of the UK Green Investment Bank plc (GIB), the world’s first low carbon investment bank.

Shaun was also the Executive Chairman of the GIB’s Offshore Wind Fund, which with £1.1 billion of assets under management, was Europe’s largest renewable energy fund upon close. This capital was raised and fully invested in just over two years.

Prior to establishing GIB, Shaun was responsible for European activities at Hudson Clean Energy Partners, a US clean energy firm and prior to that held senior positions at both Shell and Centrica.

Shaun has a Business Studies degree from the Ulster University in Belfast where he grew up and is married with two children.
