WA Green Bank is built on the belief that clean energy should be available to everyone.

Our team brings together leaders with diverse expertise—from our staff, who will develop and implement programs, to our board of directors, who provide strategic guidance. We are all working toward a shared vision: making clean energy and efficiency upgrades accessible, affordable, and beneficial for every Washingtonian.

Together, we are focused on creating financing solutions that lower costs, improve energy efficiency, and expand economic opportunities. Whether shaping financing programs, building partnerships, or ensuring that clean energy reaches those who need it most, every member of our team plays a role in advancing our work.

Eli leads the Washington State Green Bank to help accelerate the state’s clean energy transition and climate resilience while ensuring everyone can access its benefits. He is building a diverse partnership of public and private capital investors so that all Washingtonians — particularly those in low-income and disadvantaged communities — can install clean energy and energy efficiency upgrades in their homes and buildings. Through these innovative financial products and strategic partnerships with community-based organizations, Eli is working to reduce barriers to clean energy adoption, create quality jobs and help Washington meet its ambitious climate goals.

Eli brings a rich background in renewable energy financing and green bank development. His leadership roles include serving as the director of clean energy financing and interim chief investment officer for Michigan Saves, the nation’s first nonprofit green bank, where he was responsible for building strategic relationships and designing and implementing new financing products. Eli also has extensive experience in the public sector, serving as the manager of the Sustainable Energy Trust with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission and addressing climate change through a carbon pricing program with the Washington Department of Ecology.
