Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus” or “Pegasus Capital”) is pleased to announce that Thomas Emmons has joined the company and will focus on mezzanine capital in the renewable energy and clean infrastructure sectors.

“We are delighted to welcome Tom to the team as we continue to broaden the capabilities of Pegasus within our resource scarcity strategy,” said Craig Cogut, Founder of Pegasus Capital. “Pegasus is committed to our sustainable business investment platform, which includes renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure, and we know that Tom will bring valuable skills and connections in support of our growth ambitions.”

Prior to joining Pegasus, Mr. Emmons was at Rabobank and HSH Nordbank, where over the last 13 years he founded, built, and led two industry-leading teams.
