The Game
Success in infrastructure and energy finance isn’t just about technical skills; it’s about understanding how careers are really built. In The Game, we explore the unwritten rules that often separate those who progress quickly from those who get stuck.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to accelerate your career, this read offers practical insights into mindset, decision-making, and long-term career development.
Introduction to Leverage Constraints
A lesson both from our online Leverage Constraints Debt Sizing Online Mini-Course and our Advanced Project Finance Debt Modeling Online Course. Leverage is central to project finance, used to enhance returns, but also a key source of risk. For lenders, the core challenge is ensuring that projects can sustain debt under both base case and downside scenarios.
Underwriting Careers
One repeated question posed by aspiring career professionals interested in infrastructure finance and/or climate-related or adjacent sectors is as follows: how do I pick between all these interesting emerging industries? Are small-modular nuclear reactors (“SMRs”) the future? Advanced geothermal technologies? Or is green hydrogen the silver bullet par excellence?
