Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

GreenMax Capital Group is a premier fund management and advisory firm dedicated to advancing sustainable development across emerging markets. Since 1994, we have been at the forefront of catalyzing investment in climate-positive infrastructure, renewable energy, and financial inclusion, with a proven track record in 80+ countries across five continents.

Our mission is to accelerate the just energy transition by unlocking capital for high-impact projects in energy, transport, agriculture, industry, and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene). We work with project developers, investors, financial institutions, governments, and donor agencies to design and implement market-transforming initiatives that drive economic growth, climate resilience, and social equity.

From our roots as a consultancy, we have evolved into a leading transaction advisory and fund management firm, combining deep technical expertise with hands on investment experience. With seven registered entities across Ireland (HQ), the U.S., Poland, Kenya, and Chile, and a global presence across offices in Africa (Cotonou, Lagos and Lomé), Europe (Warsaw, Zagreb), and Latin America (Santiago), GreenMax is uniquely positioned to bridge financing gaps in the world's most critical emerging markets. Though heavily focused today on Sub Saharan Africa, we seek to expand our activities in the other regions where we work as well.
