About
The energy transition is underway, but the pace still falls short of what’s needed to meet global climate goals. Bridging that gap requires pragmatic, cross-disciplinary leadership—something Sagar offers through nearly 25 years of experience across the energy landscape, having worked with an energy company, an energy regulator and now with an energy consultancy.
​
Sagar advises organizations navigate the complexities of the energy transition—helping them identify opportunities, make strategic decisions, and execute effectively. His work covers a broad range of technologies including renewable power, hydrogen, carbon capture, renewable natural gas, energy storage, geothermal, and district energy, with projects across Canada, the U.S., Colombia, Norway, Sweden, and New Zealand.
​
His broad expertise is built from the roles he held in advisory, strategy, corporate finance, business development and regulation in organizations that include WSP, Enbridge, Ontario Energy Board, Ontario Ministry of Finance and GE.
​
He is a civil engineering undergraduate and an MBA graduate from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India and McMaster University, Canada. He is also a Chartered Director from The Directors College, Canada. Sagar serves on the Board of Geneva Centre for Autism, Toronto.
