Jon Previtali

Jon Previtali has worked with renewable energy and Internet technologies for over twenty years. As a senior principal engineer for VDE Americas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of Europe’s largest technology organizations, Previtali provides critical engineering and commercial advisory services to ensure climate-tech projects and essential enabling technologies are bankable and insurable. Prior to joining VDE Americas, during a nearly decade-long tenure at Wells Fargo, Previtali established the bank’s technical due diligence practice for tax-equity investments in the U.S. renewable energy sector. He was instrumental in scaling the Wells Fargo platform that in 2021 had deployed over $10 billion in support of 12% of the nation’s wind and solar capacity. Widely regarded as a trusted subject matter expert, Previtali has helped promote and standardize many of the technical due diligence and risk mitigation strategies banks use to safeguard solar and energy storage project performance. Jon holds engineering degrees from Stanford University and the University of Colorado, Boulder.
