Strategy Responds to Growing Capital Need Across Electrification, Efficiency, Manufacturing and Resilience

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Galvanize, a global asset manager focused on delivering compelling returns through deep specialization in energy and the business of decarbonization, today announced the launch of its Credit and Capital Solutions business, anchored by a $1.3 billion investment program from a leading institutional investor.

Galvanize's Credit and Capital Solutions strategy is designed to meet a growing need for flexible capital across power, manufacturing, efficiency, and resilience. The strategy provides structured non-bank and special situations credit, preferred equity, and opportunistic capital to companies and projects at critical inflection points—deploying across both public and private markets globally.

Target geographies include the U.S., Canada, and Europe, with a focus on the full energy transition value chain, including utility-scale and distributed renewable energy, grid and storage solutions, fleet electrification, energy efficiency, and advanced materials manufacturing.

The strategy is chaired by Managing Partner, John Delaney, former Member of Congress and founder of several successful large scale specialty lending companies, and co-led by Managing Partner Chris Creed, who spent 20 years at Goldman Sachs and most recently served as the Chief Investment Officer of the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office. It also includes three other partners: former Riverstone Managing Director Meghan Pasricha, former Farallon special situations investor Anatoly Bushler, and Suresh Vasan, who was previously a Managing Director at GE Energy Financial Services.

"Galvanize's team draws from decades of experience scaling investment strategies to build a best-in-class, returns-driven platform focused on the energy transition," said Katie Hall, Co-Executive Chair & CEO, Galvanize. "The Credit and Capital Solutions strategy is a cornerstone of this work."

Credit and Capital Solutions complements Galvanize's other strategies, which include Real Estate, Venture and Growth, and Public Equities. These investment teams collectively leverage Galvanize's thematic expertise and integrated platform to source opportunities, sharpen underwriting across sectors, and enhance investment performance.

"Even amid policy uncertainty, we believe the growth of clean energy is accelerating—driven by economics, resilience, and demand. The strategy focuses on providing capital solutions that support what's getting built on the ground: infrastructure, supply chains, and systems that power the next generation of growth," said John Delaney.

Chris Creed added: "By leveraging the unique resources of the Galvanize platform and our flexible capital mandate, we're positioned to finance complex and underserved segments of the energy ecosystem, from mid-market developers and operators to large-scale infrastructure rebuilds, at compelling risk adjusted returns."

Investor demand for private credit and capital solutions remains strong. A recent survey of 175 global family offices found that nearly one-third intend to increase their allocation to private credit, more than any other alternative asset class.
