RE:Steven Geiger New Advisors Added to the Team in Preparation for the Planned Al-Fahim Fintech Definitive Agreement
Steven Geiger is a recognized global energy expert who has led multiple large-scale energy investment programs in emerging economies. Most recently he served as Chief Operating Officer for Skolkovo, the $5 billion Russian national technology & economic transformation agency tasked with innovating Soviet-era energy systems. Earlier, he was a Director of MASDAR, a $15 billion renewable energy company owned by Abu Dhabi government and one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies.
“I’m excited to advise Cuba Ventures Corp. as it expands into Cuban energy projects, especially renewable energy,” Geiger said. “The Soviet-era Cuban energy and power systems offer unprecedented investment opportunities, and two decades of transforming similar assets give Cuba Ventures Corp. a key advantage in identifying and executing the most attractive projects,” Geiger added.
Steve Marshall, CEO of Cuba Ventures Corp. added: “Mr. Geiger and I go back almost two decades. I am thrilled he has accepted my invitation to join our Advisory Board. Large scale renewable energy deployments in Cuba are imminent. Subsidized Venezuelan oil is disappearing; meanwhile renewables are already cheaper than existing oil-fired power stations. Cuba’s vital hard-currency earning sectors, like tourism in particular, need reliable and affordable power. Additionally, clean renewable power can only further strengthen Cuba’s attractiveness as a top tourism destination.”
