Previously Executive Vice President of Structured Finance at the firm, he brings to his new role deep fundamental knowledge of Greenbacker’s financial operations, particularly tax equity and debt financing to support asset acquisitions, as well as the industry partnerships he has built over the course of the business. more than a decade of investments in sustainable infrastructure.

“I am thrilled to have Spencer Mash step into the role of Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of our company,” said Charles Wheeler, CEO of GREC. “We are extremely fortunate to have Spencer take on these additional responsibilities as it would have been very difficult to find anyone more capable or qualified.
