Kate Sherwood

I’m passionate about helping business leaders solve complex energy challenges and unlock growth opportunities. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led $1B+ in transactions and guided organizations through new market entry, decarbonization, and large-scale growth across renewables, storage, efficiency, and emerging technologies. Partnering with executives who are leading large P&Ls, scaling new business lines, and navigating industry transformation brings out the best in me. I bring strategic insight and hands-on P&L leadership to the table, offering board-level perspective while rolling up my sleeves to deliver measurable results. Whether it’s structuring billion-dollar project financings, commercializing first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technologies, or negotiating alliances that open entirely new markets, I thrive on making the “impossible” achievable. Colleagues and clients describe me as energetic, tenacious, and fearless when it comes to leading deals and strategies that truly move the needle on sustainable energy, cost savings, & risk reduction. Outside of work, I stay engaged with CrossFit and yoga, and I love spending time off-grid, hiking and backpacking with my sons or solo. I believe energy strategy isn’t just about numbers, it’s about creating safe, clean, reliable solutions that power progress for people, businesses, and communities.
