Meet Nick— a financial analysis guru, entrepreneurial powerhouse, and decarbonisation champion. His journey from astrophysics to 28 years in project finance honed his knack for simplifying complex investments into clear-cut commercial decisions.

Nick’s journey encompasses ambition, determination, innovation, and stewardship. In 1995, Nick a post-graduate researcher in astrophysics was drafted into the project finance universe as part of the ‘brain drain’. After 4 years focusing on atmospheric modelling, he turned his attention to the robust analysis of power station transactions across Europe and North Africa. His next chapter was establishing EY Australia’s financial modelling team before pivoting to investment banking, remaining firmly focused on power and infrastructure. In 2006 Nick co-founded a world-leading project analysis firm. From blueprint to divestment, Nick’s decade-long journey as a trusted advisor revealed to him the world changing potential of clean power. Fast-forward to 2021 Nick joined Carbon Resilience (Singapore) as the CAO, working alongside Ray (CEO) with the mission of bringing to market 20GW+ greenfield portfolio—solar, wind, hydro—across Australia and Indonesia.

Nick’s decarbonisation trajectory is now forged powering the Sub3degrees partnership fuelling the shift toward a greener future in Australia and South-East Asia.

Beyond balance sheets Nick calls Sydney home but on weekends he swaps RM Williams for Wellington boots, retired racehorses, dogs, rescue donkeys and star gazing on his south coast farm. This haven of sustainability is home to his furniture workshop, experimental renewable energy systems and year-round vegetable growing (and yes there is a spreadsheet for the vegetables….).

Meet Ray — his journey is a beacon for us all. A charismatic visionary at the forefront of the sustainable energy revolution, with a wealth of experience and a global network, Ray is whole-heartedly committed to reshaping the energy landscape.

Ray has had an impressive 20 years in asset management and banking. His focus in the last decade originating and structuring renewable energy infrastructure. He’s the architect behind two platforms, collectively powering ~30GW+ of clean energy. Ray trailblazed renewable generation in APAC, spearheading Mainstream Renewable Power’s ~4GW APAC platform forming seven regional offices employing 60 renewable energy professionals. The platform thrived under his leadership and in 2021 found a new home with Aker / Mitsui for ~€2Bn. Ray never aims low, and 4GW wasn’t enough so he launched his next venture Carbon Resilience. His mission was to launch a high-potential utility-scale APAC development platform (~25GW+). Ray’s secret sauce was pairing low LCoE greenfield sites with 10GW+ hydrogen/synfuels locations to enable Queensland’s green power and fuel economy.

Ray’s earlier roles at Royal Bank of Scotland in Europe and an emerging markets investment platform licensed by Julius Baer Asset Management in Asia Pacific, honed his skills with capital raising and management, building and managing HNW family office relationships, financial structuring, and impact investment product design.​

Beyond the boardroom Ray calls Singapore home. With his wife and young family, he navigates the vibrant cityscape. But it’s not all business suits— outside of his professional life Ray’s heart beats for rugby and Irish whiskey and when he is not globe-trotting for the cause, he’s on the sidelines, cheering for his sporting sons and exploring Singapore’s nooks and crannies—walking, running, and cycling.

Ray’s legacy isn’t just clean megawatts —it’s about all the aspects needed to powering a greener future. So, whether you’re crunching numbers, planting trees or developing the next sustainable fuel, Ray’s journey and vision inspires all around him to join the energy revolution.​
