Six people, each having sat on the other side of a table like this one.
Founders and practice leads, in order of joining.
Spent fourteen years structuring project finance for transit and renewable infrastructure before Westford — the unglamorous debt that actually gets things built.
Spent six years designing MRV methodologies for a boutique environmental engineering consultancy, before deciding to help clients meet registry standards rather than just write them.
Ran soil-carbon field measurement crews for nine years before Westford existed to hire him properly. Still goes into the field personally on the first visit of any new mandate.
Structured toll-road and transit debt for a decade before this. Says a direct air capture plant's cash flows are "the same spreadsheet, worse weather risk."
Managed a corporate sustainability procurement portfolio for a Fortune 500 buyer before deciding a stranger, harder-to-price asset class was the more interesting problem to spend a career on.
Spent four years as an accredited validation and verification body auditor before joining Westford to sit, for once, on the other side of the table.
