SAN DIEGO, California (PRWEB) August 19, 2014 -- Equal Earth, a global diversified clean energy company, today announced that the company appointed Jerry Mount Executive Vice President of Capital Markets. Mount joins the company as Equal Earth continues to accelerate funding, acquisitions and new renewable energy projects.
Mount’s appointment is the latest announcement in a series of executive appointments and follows Equal Earth’s announcement of $50M in new financing from Greenbacker Renewable Energy. In his role as Executive Vice President of Capital Markets, Mount will oversee the acquisition of new renewable energy projects including due diligence and structuring project finance. In addition, he will be responsible for securing capital for acquisitions and development projects as Equal Earth continues to expand.
