I'm Robert Thornton, currently based in San Francisco, and I bring over 14 years of experience in capital markets, primarily within the renewable energy sector. As the SVP of Capital Markets at Kenyon Energy, I specialize in arranging term debt and tax equity for commercial Solar PV projects across the US. My career has also included leadership roles at Renewable Energy Finance and ATEL Leasing, where I successfully raised significant funding and acquired valuable assets. I hold an MBA in Finance from the University of Colorado Boulder and a BA in Political Science from The George Washington University. Additionally, I have pursued further education in the Marketing and Economics of Solar at the Solar Living Institute. My expertise lies in energy finance and assurance, and I am passionate about advancing sustainable energy solutions.
