The Green Investment Bank (GIB) has announced that Christine Brockwell and Gregor Paterson-Jones will imminently take up the roles of Managing Director of Offshore Wind and Non Domestic Energy Efficiency (NDEE) respectively.
Offshore wind is one of GIB's mandated priority investment sectors and is expected to have the largest share of GIB's initial £3bn capital.
In its first six months of operation, GIB's focus has been the secondary market for operating assets, investing in existing offshore wind projects to allow capital to be recycled into new projects.
The appointment of Christine coincides with the expansion of GIB's offshore wind investment strategy, which will see it continue to invest in secondary markets as well as now investing in offshore projects in the construction stage.

Christine, who joins GIB's London office from Germany, was previously a Director at Global Capital Finance, a leading financial services advisory firm where she was responsible for the firm's European renewable energy transactions and global equity syndication. In her capacity at GCF, she led the company on several noteworthy asset-based M&A transactions, including offshore wind.
