New senior leaders from leading financial institutions join Crux as the need for modern, sophisticated energy and infrastructure financing accelerates.

That leaders with decades of experience across energy and finance are choosing to join Crux is a powerful signal that the industry recognizes the need to modernize how capital is deployed,”

— Alfred Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Crux

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Crux, the capital platform for the clean economy, has recently announced four senior leadership appointments as the company continues to grow: John DeRosa as Head of Tax Credit Markets, Eric Heintz as Head of Investments, Okwudiri Onyedum as Head of Strategic Bank Capital, and James Wright as Head of Industry Coverage and Advisory.

These executives bring decades of experience across the capital markets and energy sectors. DeRosa joins from Apollo Global Management, where he led its Tax Credit Products group and previously served as Head of Tax Finance. Heintz joins from M&T Bank, where he built and led its renewable energy finance platform, growing it into a $2+ billion tax equity portfolio. Onyedum brings a wealth of experience across energy and finance from ExxonMobil, Mizuho, and RBS Securities. Wright joins after leading U.S. Corporate Banking at CIBC and previously spent 20 years at HSBC financing infrastructure across global markets.

DeRosa, Heintz, and Onyedum report to Yonette Chung McLean, Crux’s Chief Capital Officer, who leads the company’s Investments, Debt Capital Markets, and Transferable Tax Credits businesses. She has over two decades of capital markets experience, including 23 years at RBC, and has been a driving force in expanding Crux’s capital solutions since joining the firm. Wright reports to Alfred Johnson, Crux’s CEO.

Crux’s continued growth comes as the U.S. energy sector enters a period of extraordinary expansion. Electricity demand is rising rapidly, creating an urgent need to build new power generation, while significant private capital is seeking opportunities to finance that growth.

In less than four years, Crux has grown to more than 120 employees and facilitated billions of dollars of private-sector investment into American clean energy projects and critical infrastructure. Its multidisciplinary team offers deep financial and energy expertise, augmented by Crux’s AI-powered platform and market-leading data intelligence, enabling clients to evaluate opportunities, structure transactions, and raise and deploy capital more efficiently. Crux supports clean energy developers, manufacturers, and investors across the entire capital stack, including tax equity, preferred equity, debt capital, and transferable tax credits.

“America needs to build more power, and there is no shortage of capital or appetite to finance it,” said Alfred Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Crux. “We have entered a period of categorical expansion of the energy and industrial system, and Crux was built to meet this moment. I am immensely proud of our team, at every level, which is the most talented group of people I have ever worked with. That leaders with decades of experience across energy and finance are choosing to join Crux is a powerful signal that the industry recognizes the need to modernize how capital is deployed, and that Crux is leading that transformation.”

Crux continues to grow and hire as it expands its platform and capital markets capabilities. For more information on Crux and open roles, please visit: https://www.crux.com/careers.
