Leadership & Platform
Doug Haroldson
Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Over 30 years of experience in the energy industry, including roles at Credit Suisse, Sempra (Annual Chairman's Award winner), NRG and Caden Energy.
Vita Nova operates as a principal-led development platform: origination, land, interconnection strategy and commercial structuring are directed in-house, and execution is scaled through a vetted bench of specialist partners assembled project by project. That model keeps overhead disciplined and decision-making direct, while giving each project the depth of a full development organization.
