About / Our Team

The People Who Take the Risk Apart.

A team that combines deep specialty-insurance expertise with green-sector and project-finance experience — the two disciplines that have to meet for a hard project to get financed.

Nemo Perera

Managing Member

A serial entrepreneur with more than twenty-five years in specialty insurance, Nemo founded the Edge and Risk Capital Partners family of companies. He is an insurance-linked and structured-finance expert, a frequent guest lecturer, and the author of numerous articles on specialty coverages and synthetic financial guarantees for green energy and emerging technology.

He developed the proprietary risk-deconstruction and securitization models at the core of the firm’s work. He holds a BS from UCLA and an MBA from USC.

The Team

Depth across insurance, green tech, and the markets.

Steve Hacking

Due Diligence & Strategy

Steve brings more than twenty-five years of due-diligence and strategy advisory across more than two hundred business, asset, and project transactions, with particular emphasis on green-technology projects. He built one of London’s leading commercial due-diligence practices and served as lead advisor in a top UK risk-finance and insurance due-diligence practice, and is a former member of the investment committee of the London Waste and Recycling Board. He holds an MA in Engineering from Cambridge, an MSc with distinction from Imperial College London, and an MBA with distinction from INSEAD.

Michael Bainbridge

Specialty & Reinsurance

Michael has more than forty years in insurance, beginning in marine insurance with a major international Lloyd’s broker. He has been a managing general agent and underwriter and has held Lloyd’s binding authorities across a wide range of classes. In recent years he has developed insurance and reinsurance programs for the green sector using derivatives and parametric triggers.

Our GreenTech engagements also draw on the full bench of the Risk Capital Partners and Edge Management family — actuarial, legal, tax, and capital-markets specialists brought in as each transaction requires.
