time of historic industry disruption
Navigant Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: NCI) today announced four
senior-level industry professionals have joined the company’s
growing global Energy segment.
Burrell Kilmer, managing director, along with Sebastian Foot,
James Freyre, and Wesley Thomson, directors, are well-versed in the
changing market demands, evolving policies and regulations, and
disruptive technologies ushering in an era of transformation for
the energy industry. In their new roles, they will work side by

Energy Cloud, a framework developed by Navigant to describe a more
sustainable, highly digitized, and dynamic energy system.
“Change is the new normal in our industry, and Navigant’s
experts recognize the opportunities that can help our clients
navigate the energy transition successfully,” says Jan Vrins,
managing director and leader of Navigant’s global Energy segment.
“This is especially true for Burrell, Sebastian, James, and Wesley,
who are already identifying ways for clients to position for
success across the energy value chain.”
Burrell Kilmer, Managing Director, Phoenix
With more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry,
Kilmer combines a passion for clean energy with expertise across
business strategy, operational leadership, and customer excellence
through full lifecycle transformative programs. Kilmer focuses on
Navigant’s utility clients in the West and Southwestern United
States, leading account teams and fostering avenues for growth. By
identifying opportunities that connect customer and regulatory
goals with technology and operational excellence, he helps
utilities drive customer and shareholder value, while positioning

Itineris.

Serving investors and large corporations that are transitioning
their business to include clean energy solutions, Foot is an
accomplished energy finance professional with more than 14 years of
experience across project finance, fintech, and emissions trading.
With a focus on the energy transition, he helps clients develop
financial strategies to manage risk, acquire or divest assets, gain
exposure to new markets and asset classes, and raise capital. His
broad skill set is a result of working across the financial sector
and as a management consultant focused on clean energy advisory
services. Most recently, he designed and launched a Financial
Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated crowdfunding platform enabling
individuals direct access to renewable energy investments, managed
the financing of £100 million of renewable assets in the UK, and
was instrumental in a £25 million refinance of solar assets.
James Freyre, Director, Miami
With expertise in program management, engineering, and
construction, Freyre is focused on transforming energy systems and
infrastructure in the wake of natural disasters. For over 30 years,
he has led diverse teams in project planning, development, and
execution to support utility operations and maintenance programs.
Earlier in his career, Freyre was the lead engineer for the
construction and installation of a nuclear power plant’s emergency
generators, which successfully operated through Hurricane Andrew.
Since, Freyre has managed the construction of a new generator power
plant in the Bahamas, as well as participated or managed the
construction of various nuclear modifications, combined-cycle gas
turbine power plants, and wind farms.
Wesley Thomson, Director, London
Thomson works closely with clients around the world to provide
strategic advice in the pursuit of sustainable excellence, as well
as transactional support in major commercial decisions. He
leverages broad international experience, multidisciplinary
expertise, and in-depth industry knowledge to identify emerging
market ventures, capitalize on niche business opportunities, and
develop and implement strategies for accelerated growth. Thomson
has a deep understanding of commercial value creation, having held
pivotal roles in supporting organizations in making sound
investment decisions within the energy and technology sectors. Most
