We thank Jon for his extraordinary work leading BNEF and congratulate Albert on his new role.”

“I’m honored to serve as the next CEO of BNEF, and look forward to working with our colleagues and clients around the world to tackle the most pressing strategic issues in the energy transition,” said Cheung. “BNEF plays a critical role supporting executives navigating change in the energy system, and in these complex times the need for high-quality data and insights has never been clearer.
