Brian is Director of Infrastructure Investments at Sidewalk Labs, where he leads the investment, finance, and partnership activity for our infrastructure initiatives, including relationships with pensions funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and asset management firms. Brian is responsible for defining, designing, and implementing new funding models, infrastructure finance, and delivery methods for Sidewalk Labs and its project in Toronto—one of the largest and most complex urban development projects in North America. In addition, Brian leads the evaluation of emerging technologies and services enabling new standards of innovation, sustainability, and affordability in infrastructure, including new construction materials and building and delivery methodologies. Previously, Brian spent 11 years with the American Infrastructure Fund; he was a Managing Director and senior member of the team since its formation. He was instrumental in the development of many innovative tax efficient capital formation strategies, partnerships, and investments aimed at solving the U.S.’s complex urban infrastructure challenges. Prior to the American Infrastructure Fund, Brian worked at Scion Capital, a Cupertino-based private investment fund investing in public, private, and structured derivative markets worldwide. Earlier in his career, Brian helped launch and manage Broadview Capital Partners, a Bay Area-based venture capital fund, where he led the fund’s communications and fiber network investments. Brian holds an MBA in Real Estate & Finance from Columbia University and a Bachelor’s degree from the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Washington. He serves on the Advisory Board of Cornell’s Program in Infrastructure Policy. Brian was born and raised in Seattle. He previously lived in New York City, but has called Silicon Valley his home for the past 20 years. He resides in Atherton, CA with his wife and five children. When he’s not thinking about how to change the world through intelligent infrastructure, he enjoys personal pursuits such as hiking, mountaineering, and (according to his wife) skiing way too fast for his age.
