Genevieve Sherman

As Head of Sustainability & Policy, Genevieve leads Nuveen Green Capital’s (NGC) impact data collection efforts as well the geographic expansion of C-PACE policies, now adopted in 38 states.

Before joining NGC, Genevieve spearheaded the original design and implementation of Connecticut’s C-PACE program at the Connecticut Green Bank (CTGB) – largely considered the first successful C-PACE program in the country. In 2015, Genevieve joined her CTGB colleagues Jessica Bailey & Alexandra Cooley to start Greenworks Lending, which later became NGC. As a founding member of the organization and member of the executive team, Genevieve has led the expansion and implementation of C-PACE policy from one to over three dozen states, created the policy framework for multistate securitization of C-PACE loans, and helped the company surpass $1.5 billion in originations volume.

Prior to her work in C-PACE, Genevieve consulted with Clean Energy Solutions Inc., Earth Markets, and HR&A Advisors to design and operate state and utility administered energy efficiency programs. Genevieve holds a Master of City Planning and Certificate in Environmental Policy from MIT, and a BA in Urban Studies from Columbia University. She currently serves on the Credit Support working group of the Clean Energy Buyer’s Institute.
