Ronnow’s appointment expands CoralPoint’s ability to support clients evaluating, financing, acquiring, developing, owning and operating long-term clean energy assets across North America.

As clean energy investments grow in complexity, clients need advisors who can cut through the noise, bridge the gap between engineering and commercial realities, and move projects confidently from evaluation to execution. CoralPoint excels at translating intricate project data into clear, actionable outcomes for our clients, and I am incredibly proud to join such a forward-thinking team.” Abby Ronnow, Principal Consultant, M&A and IE Services, North America

Her technical and commercial savviness combined with her deep knowledge and vast skills in AI solutions will help CoralPoint provide clients with decision-grade intelligence at unprecedented speed and accuracy. This is what sets Abby, and CoralPoint, apart.” Ali Ghorashi, Partner and Managing Director, M&A and IE Services, North America
