Generate Capital, a sustainable infrastructure investment platform and operating company, named Brian Lehman CFO. Lowe is succeeding Jack Stark, who will be retiring from the CFO role and staying on with the company as executive vice president to support the transition and other strategic initiatives.
Lehman will oversee all financial, accounting and capital markets functions at Generate Capital. He has decades of capital markets, corporate and investment banking experience. Prior to Generate, he spent more than two decades at global investment banks, having acted as an advisor, underwriter, principal and agent in approximately $100 billion in debt, equity and structured transactions for private and public corporations.
“Brian is a fantastic addition to our leadership team at Generate,” Scott Jacobs, chief executive and co-founder of Generate Capital, said. “Brian’s breadth of financial expertise, passion for our mission and unwavering commitment to our shared values make him an ideal business partner at an exciting time for our company.
“I also want to thank Jack for his contributions to Generate, his wisdom, his insights and his friendship. Jack has been incredibly important as a partner to me and as a leader for Generate these past few years. We are fortunate that Jack will continue to be a leader here at Generate for several years.”
“It’s a privilege to join the talented, mission-driven team at Generate that is building the future, combating climate change and continuing to prove that sustainability pays for all its stakeholders,” Lehman said. “The company’s leadership in sustainable infrastructure, permanent-capital platform and commitment to its values are just a few of the reasons why I’m so excited to take on this role. I’m grateful to Jack, who has built a world-class financial organization at Generate, and looking forward to being a part of Generate’s next chapter of growth.”
Stark has served as CFO and a member of the management committee at Generate since 2019, capping a three-decade career in senior management roles of both publicly-traded and privately-held companies in the energy and financial services markets. Stark also serves as the lead director for TC Pipelines, a publicly-traded master limited partnership.
“The last three years have been as rewarding as any in my career and it is a testament to the talent and dedication of the team at Generate,” Stark said. “I’m thrilled Generate has found an executive like Brian who will continue to deliver for all of Generate’s stakeholders — our team, customers, partners, investors and communities.”
