  1. “Time who saw the Green Revolution coming, wanted to make sure that the power company was positioned for that and brought in a bunch of different people, some with power and finance experience, some with engineering experience, and then others like me who just were good at solving complicated problems. And together we built a really strong renewable energy business.”

  2. “Yeah, so I was blessed to, one, get to help rebuild the World Trade Center and work in one of the most extraordinary government agencies that exists and got to do it at a very young age. And so I had this extraordinary experience where I had the opportunity to either keep going vertical and keep going up within government or build out. And I bet that life is long. If it's not, we're sort of in trouble anyway. And so, you know, for my part, when I do things, I want them to be meaningful and transformational. To do that, I think you need experience and you need to broaden your foundation and not just build on high. So I pivoted out of government. I went to business school, as you mentioned, and then joined a Fortune 250 power company that was trying to build a renewable energy investment platform and development platform and fortunately was led by a very visionary CEO at the time.”

  3. “Yeah, and much more mixed use to your point. I mean, no one would recognize Lower Manhattan today where it was, you know, in 2000 or in the 90s. And I live in Lower Manhattan with my two boys and my wife not far from the World Trade Center, just given the importance that it has in my life. And it's an incredible area. I think it's, you know, the connectivity, the mass transit, you know, you're close to Brooklyn. You can get uptown anytime you want or out of the city. It's extraordinary.”

  4. “Renegotiating the original real estate deal with Silverstein properties and rationalize the commercial development and the financing of that project to phase it in over time given where we were in the market at the time. So just the experience of a lifetime, especially for a lifelong New Yorker to have an opportunity to rebuild my hometown, there's really nothing like it.”

  5. “Sure. So I was blessed to become the chief of staff to the head of the Port Authority, New York and New Jersey. And this was seven years after the attacks. And it was still a 16-acre hole in the ground. And to your point, it was peak government dysfunction. Everyone was warring with everyone. There was a private developer. There were insurance companies. There was unfortunately the families of nearly 3,000 victims. And there was one of the most complicated engineering and construction projects in the most congested area of New York City, while two mass transit systems had to continue operating. The one train that bisects the site and the path system that comes in from the Hudson River. And we got there in 2008, and it was basically a hole in the ground at that point, and they called it the pit, if you remember, down at ground zero. And over the next four years, we got it built. And we opened the memorial by the 10-year anniversary. We secured Cond ⁇ Nast as an anchor tenant for One World Trade Center.”

  6. “The original path was public service. So I started my career in government. I worked for governor many governors ago and then moved up to Albany and worked for that governor. And then when that governor resigned, his name was Elliot Spitzer, which you may have remembered. This was 2008. This was the same week Bear Stearns went down, which I'm sure you remember. And I had to get back to New York City where I'm from. And the Port Authority was rebuilding the World Trade Center at the time. And the World Trade Center was still a 16-acre hole in the ground.”
