Funding Underserved African Energy Markets: Pete Joubert
Manage episode 330166743 series 2870750
CrossBoundary is an investment firm focused on unlocking capital for sustainable growth and strong returns in underserved markets. Identifying Africa as one of the critically underserved markets a decade ago, CrossBoundary began its operations on the continent as an investment advisory for businesses and projects. A few years later, the firm identified an energy access gap on the continent and sought out opportunities to finance and own renewable energy businesses to deliver cleaner and cheaper power to African businesses.
Pete Joubert--Chief Investment Officer and now President at CrossBoundary Energy--joins us in this episode to discuss the early days of CrossBoundary's energy investments, its path to deploying capital in ways that meet Sub-Saharan Africa's needs, and the challenges and learnings the firm has encountered when dealing with public and private stakeholders in the African energy landscape.
