Current CEO Craig Carson transitions to Chairman
role
DALLAS, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Vesper Energy, a leading energy transition company,
is pleased to announce the appointment of co-founders, Mark Rostafin and Juan
Suarez as Co-Chief Executive Officers. Current CEO and
Co-Founder Craig Carson will
transition to Chairman of the Board of Managers, effective
May 1.
Suarez and Rostafin step into their new roles as Vesper Energy
evolves from a period of strong growth to capitalize on early
successes like Hornet Solar, one of the largest solar assets in
North America. They will lead
Vesper Energy's next phase of growth and value creation to meet the
increasing demand for renewable energy solutions across the
U.S.
"We've scaled from 12 to over 80 employees while increasing our
development pipeline to approximately 17 gigawatts in less than
four years," said Suarez. "Vesper Energy is well-positioned to
serve as an industry leader and independent power producer,
supporting our nation's investment in reliable, resilient energy
infrastructure."
"It's an honor to lead Vesper Energy's team of experts as we
advance our critical mission of clean energy development," said
Rostafin. "I look forward to our next chapter as we forge new
partnerships to build on the momentum we've achieved under
Craig Carson's leadership."
Rostafin brings over 20 years of experience in the energy
industry to his new position, having served Vesper Energy and its
previous entity, Lendlease Energy Development, in commercial
leadership roles since 2015. Suarez has held leadership roles
in development, engineering, procurement, and construction for over
25 years and has served Vesper Energy since 2015.
Under Carson's leadership, Vesper Energy expanded from a niche
developer to a diversified independent power producer. His
transition to Chairman ensures continuity for the organization.
"Craig's vision and leadership have been instrumental in
progressing Vesper Energy into a leading renewable energy company,"
said Eric J. Scheyer, Managing Partner at Elda River and
member of Vesper Energy's Board of Managers. "We are grateful for
his many contributions and look forward to his continued
guidance."
"Juan and Mark have been driving forces behind Vesper Energy's
strategic vision and success," said Carson. "Their complementary
skills, deep industry knowledge, and proven track records make them
ideally suited to collaborate and lead the company forward. I am
confident in their ability to capitalize on the tremendous market
opportunities ahead."
