As I step into the role of Chief of Staff at GreenMax Capital Group, I’m honored to join a company celebrating its 30th anniversary. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in GreenMax’s history, and I’m eager to contribute to its continued success.

As GreenMax commemorates its Pearl Anniversary, I’m struck by the parallels between the company and a pearl: both are strong, adaptable, and acquire value over time.

As we commemorate GreenMax’s 30th anniversary, I’m grateful to have been part of this impressive journey and look forward to what lies ahead. When I joined the company over a decade ago, I aspired to build a career in clean energy. It has been my privilege to see this goal come to fruition as a member of the GreenMax team.

As a newcomer to GreenMax, I’m excited to be a part of the team that ushers in its 30th year. As an administrative assistant for the finance department based in the New York office, I have only met a handful of my colleagues in person thus far. Despite the distance, it is a testament to the GreenMax culture and community that I feel so connected to my international colleagues.

I joined GreenMax in early 2016 while participating in a practical training program in New York after completing my graduate studies at the University of Rochester. I was attracted to the company because its mission aligns with my professional goal of contributing to sustainable economic development in Africa. My role at GreenMax over the years has been cross-cutting across all three business units.

Working at GreenMax has provided me with the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of positively challenging roles, from fund management, to consulting, to transaction advisory, all aimed at providing, unlocking, and attracting financing to eke out that additional kilowatt or household connection to close the very vast energy access gap in Sub-Saharan Africa.

As GreenMax celebrates its 30th anniversary, I reflect on my own two-year journey with the organization. GreenMax’s vast experience across diverse geographies and cultures is an invaluable resource, not just for employees, but for the entire renewable energy industry.

GreenMax Capital Group was an original USAID Power Africa private sector partner, where I first discovered the company’s impactful work in energy access during my tenure as Power Africa Coordinator.

Finance in Motion’s growth is closely tied to GreenMax’s innovative spirit and deep market expertise. A prime example is the pivotal market study and investment strategy GreenMax developed over a decade ago for a Southeast European energy efficiency and renewable energy fund.
