He has held senior roles at the nexus of climate change, energy and wildlife for the past 20 years, most notably at the National Wildlife Federation, where he helped the wind industry find ways to site and operate wind turbines, and also engaged executives to get active on climate change.
He begins the post on Sept. 15.
