Wright
Executive in Residence
I am currently the President and Founder of Novabell Strategy Inc., focused on providing strategic advisory and fractional CFO services to startups going through periods of growth. I’m also active in the Tech and Startup ecosystem as a coach, executive-in-resident, and mentor, and am passionate about helping founders build sustainable and investable businesses. Before entering the startup ecosystem, I spent over 18 years in the energy sector across a diverse range of corporate finance and business development roles. Most recently, I was a founding executive, and the Vice President of a private energy company with a focus on transitioning legacy oil assets in Alberta into a carbon-neutral business through a combination of CCUS and oilfield waste-to-power projects. Prior to that, I was part of the team that developed an asset in Chad from zero to 25,000 barrels/day. Throughout my career, I have led investment raises totaling well over one billion dollars. I’m an advocate for a clean energy transition, and passionate about diversifying Calgary's economy. Outside of work, I can be found hiking, trail running, rock climbing or spending time with a house full of rescue dogs.
