In that capacity, he worked directly with the Biden Administration and Congress in developing and establishing the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (i.e., the national “Green Bank”), as well as the Home Electrification and Appliances Rebates (HEAR) program, among other initiatives. From 2022 to 2023, he served as the Executive Director of the Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub, where he led the effort of seven-state coalition to advance the development and deployment of clean hydrogen in the Northeast.

He also serves as a senior advisor at Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy and its Center for Sustainable Investment and is a member of the Board of Directors of New York's Environmental Facilities Corporation.
