• Build partnerships across technical, legal, and environmental stakeholders to support licensing efforts and project progression.
• Oversee the preparation of licensing documents, risk analyses, and supporting materials in accordance with evolving regulatory requirements.
• Align internal teams and external consultants across engineering, operations, and strategy to drive program momentum.
• Communicate complex reactor design and safety considerations in plain language to board members, investors, and non-technical leadership.
• Develop roadmaps and investment narratives that support long-term commercial success and public market readiness.
• Serve as a key executive voice in regulatory meetings, due diligence sessions, and investor discussions, while promoting a culture of safety and compliance.
