For over 15 years, Rafael Amaral has been committed to advancing the renewable energy industry, contributing to the implementation of utility-scale power systems across several continents. With a foundation in electrical engineering, he understood from the start that field performance builds trust. His focus has consistently been on ensuring turbines operate efficiently, grids remain stable, and teams deliver safely and on time.

Rafael currently serves as Executive Vice President at a renewable energy company, with full P&L responsibility for approximately $220 million in revenue. His responsibilities span field services, repowering, project execution, and asset management across wind, solar, and battery storage in North America.

Rafael's career began in Brazil, where he graduated as valedictorian in Electrical Engineering. Early experience designing high-voltage substations and electrical systems helped him build a strong technical foundation and gain insight into how energy systems respond under pressure. This knowledge became vital as he moved into roles managing large-scale renewable operations.

In 2011, Rafael Amaral of Florida joined a global energy organization, beginning in wind commissioning and site leadership roles. He led efforts in turbine delivery, engineering coordination, and customer interaction. Later, he oversaw service teams across several Latin American countries, managing a $10 million business with around 120 employees. These roles taught him how to lead diverse teams across challenging environments and establish operational clarity.

Rafael's move into global leadership included managing workforce strategy for about 1,600 field employees in 25 countries. He later took on responsibility for international operations valued at nearly $190 million, focusing on process improvement, safety, and margin stability through the practical application of lean principles.

Rafael then led operations in North America and the Americas, overseeing more than 1,200 employees and up to $160 million in revenue. In 2024, he led the integration of over 10 acquired companies into a unified platform. That same year, he was appointed Chief Operating Officer, overseeing construction and operations in the U.S. and Canada.

Throughout his professional journey, Rafael Amaral has remained focused on execution, operational discipline, and long-term value creation in renewable energy.

Nathan Nichols has spent much of the past decade shaping a meaningful path in the digital asset industry. His work connects entrepreneurship, financial insight, and leadership in emerging technologies like Bitcoin mining and blockchain infrastructure. Through persistence and careful decision-making, he has helped create organizations that link innovation with responsible business growth. His approach reflects a belief that technology, when guided by discipline and vision, can play an essential role in transforming modern financial and energy systems.

Nathan began building the foundation of his professional life at James Madison University, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. During his studies, he maintained a strong academic record and served as class president of an accounting honor society. This experience shaped his leadership style and strengthened his interest in combining business strategy with technical understanding. His education provided the structure and integrity to guide his decisions throughout his entrepreneurial journey.

Nichols entered the world of entrepreneurship by co-founding a blockchain-focused company that offered innovative tax solutions. As chief executive, he raised significant capital and quickly guided the company’s valuation growth. His early success demonstrated his ability to unite financial strategy with technical development. The experience also taught him the importance of building teams, maintaining transparency, and creating sustainable growth models in an industry that still defines its long-term structure and value.

Nathan Nichols expanded his focus into Bitcoin mining and infrastructure development, helping establish one of North America's most extensive immersion-cooled mining operations. Under his leadership, the company achieved notable growth in production and profitability while creating opportunities for employees and contractors. His emphasis on energy efficiency and operational excellence helped set new standards in sustainable mining practices. He showed how business innovation could coexist with long-term environmental awareness by aligning performance with responsible resource use.

Nathan also dedicated time to public advocacy, promoting the benefits of blockchain and digital asset innovation at the policy level. He worked with state leaders to encourage fair regulations and greater understanding of how mining and blockchain can strengthen economic development. His efforts contributed to legislative progress that clarified the legal foundation for digital assets. Through this work, he demonstrated how collaboration between industry and government can foster responsible innovation and long-term stability.

Nichols later brought his experience into private equity and infrastructure investment. As a managing partner, he has helped oversee large-scale projects and build partnerships with global manufacturers. His investment philosophy is grounded in practicality—he views Bitcoin as a financial instrument and a model for efficient energy conversion. His thoughtful approach to capital allocation reflects a consistent belief that innovation should deliver measurable, sustainable value across industries and communities.

Hey, I'm Nikita. By day I'm a strategy consultant at Founders Intelligence, part of Accenture & the Founders Forum family: I talk to startups and VCs, then turn that into strategy for corporate C-suites. I've helped run corporate accelerators and partnership labs (from Diageo Fusion to the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator), coaching founders, aligning corporate x start-ups interests, and making sure pilots with big corporates actually happen instead of dying in procurement. I ran 5 real-world startup x corporate pilots myself as part of corporate innovation strategy projects, and build well-rounded expertise in several areas, from energy & mobility to finance & sales.

By night I build. My three main projects are:
1) Sorta: a GUI for AI, exploring new interfaces for interacting with AI for research and knowledge workflows. Just coming out of stealth.
2) Klava: a BlackBerry-inspired iOS keyboard with my own on-device prediction engine, 27 languages and ~3k downloads, made solo with AI tools
3) BlokBlok.io: a niche marketplace, catalogue and community for fans of Mega - LEGO's biggest competitor. I saw a gap in the market, and always wanted to build something community-first.

I'm also a founding member of the 181 Angels syndicate, have backed about a dozen UK startups through that or crowdfunding, and worked with founders directly on a range of topics.
