New York, NY [September 14, 2022] — Madison Energy Investments (MEI), a leading clean energy investment platform, today announced the appointment of energy executive Cameron Bard as Vice President, Business Development. Cameron brings over a decade of experience enabling, developing, and financing the clean energy transition and has held senior roles in both the private and public sectors, including serving in the Office of New York State Governor, where he oversaw the state’s energy agenda. In his role leading business and market development for MEI, Cameron will work with existing and future partners and customers to deliver solar and other clean energy projects with certainty, speed, and trust.
