Marguerite serves as the executive director. She joined the ������ý team in April of 2024.

Marguerite has established herself as a powerhouse in the renewable energy industry. Most recently, Marguerite headed up Invenergy’s New York development office for seven years. As one of the first Invenergy employees in the New York market, her team of 19 employees had a portfolio of 2,000 MW of wind, solar, and battery storage projects in New York in permitting. Prior to joining Invenergy, Marguerite developed Black Oak Wind Farm, a 16 MW wind project in central New York where she crowdfunded $3 million in community investment to develop the project. Marguerite also has an entrepreneurial background. In 2005, she built and eventually sold Motherplants, a green roof plant nursery business that has supplied many of the green roofs built in NYS.

Marguerite is a fifth-generation New Yorker, and a graduate of Cornell with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science and Natural Resources. She got her Master’s in Environmental Sustainability back before anyone had heard the word “sustainability” from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

In her spare time, you can find Marguerite pursuing her passions of farming and gardening when she isn’t watching her kids play sports.
