Green Path Strategies

Green Path Strategies is a Somerville communications consultancy serving organizations working on the transition to clean energy. It operates as a fractional communications executive: the principal steps in as a client’s communications department, takes inventory of existing assets and gaps, handles immediate tactical needs, and builds the strategy, systems and resources a growing energy venture requires. Areas of expertise include impact messaging, media strategy, public affairs and community engagement.

The principal’s path into energy began as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, posted to an unelectrified community on the Haitian border, where work on solar-based rural electrification and microenterprise led to a career built on the belief that electricity changes lives. Later roles included vice president of corporate communications and investor relations at Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners, helping build its U.S. operations platform before leading investor, board and media relations globally.
