SSR also provides advisory services to electric utilities, utility regulators and the suppliers of power generation and energy storage equipment.

Before joining Bernstein, Mr. Wynne was Vice President of Finance at ABB Energy Ventures, the power project development subsidiary of ABB Asea Brown Boveri, where he was charged with making equity investments in and arranging non-recourse financing for major power generation and transmission projects globally. Previously, Mr. Wynne was a Senior Vice President at Lehman Brothers’ Utilities and Project Finance Group.
