Speaker Bio
Eduardo joined Goldman Sachs (“GS”) Investment Banking in 2014 and is based in Houston, where he is grateful to call home the “energy capital of the world”.
Eduardo is the Energy Technology Sector Captain for GS, focused on disruptive technologies that present exponential growth trajectories based on the recent secular shift towards net zero emission targets. By keeping a holistic view on the energy industry, Eduardo has recently served as advisor on ChargePoint’s merger with Switchback; Volta’s announced merger with Tortoise II; Bird’s announced merger with Switchback II; the sale of the largest renewable natural gas (“RNG”) public fueling stations network for class 8 trucks; the largest renewable energy equipment IPOs including Array Technologies and, subsequently, Shoals Technologies; and multiple energy technology focused SPAC IPOs, green debt financings and private placement capital raises. These transactions have a tremendous impact on reducing global emissions by incentivizing the adoption of EVs, capturing methane emissions at dairy farms via anaerobic digesters, avoiding deforestation through increased used of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) virtual pipelines, mitigating natural gas flaring through mobile bitcoin-mining data centers, promoting a hydrogen fueling network, and reducing the cost of renewable energy and battery storage through equipment that enhances production and lowers installation costs. This recent momentum presents not only an opportunity but also an obligation for technology to have a positive impact on the environment and to shape the future of the energy industry. As energy transition continues to drive a new industrial revolution, Eduardo has been focused on new business models emerging from society’s behavioral shift to accommodate disruptive technologies that will change the way we lived the last decades.
Prior to joining GS, Eduardo has always focused his career following his passion for energy and innovation. He worked as an Investment Banker at Deutsche Bank’s Power and Utilities Group, as a Project Manager at Kinder Morgan and Commercial Development at General Electric. Eduardo earned a BS from Tecnologico de Monterrey, an MS from Southern Methodist University and an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
