North Sky Capital (North Sky), a specialist in impact investing, has promoted Managing Director Danny Zouber, who has worked for the firm for nearly 20 years, to Co-CEO. Zouber will serve alongside fellow Co-CEO Scott Barrington, who has led North Sky since 2005.
Zouber joined the firm in 2006, its his responsibilities having steadily increased over the years. He helped launch the first cleantech fund of funds in North America (2006), Nort Sky’s sustainable infrastructure strategy (2010) and the world’s first impact secondaries strategy in 2013.
Zouber also has been co-head of the secondaries team since inception and has served on the investment committees for every fund in that strategy as well as in North Sky’s infrastructure strategy. He also started the firm’s Low Income Communities initiative in 2020, which allocates new market tax credits to underserved, mostly rural, communities through the firm’s National Impact Fund subsidiary.
Zouber was among the first investors in North America to commit institutional capital to sustainability-focused private market opportunities nearly 20 years ago, alongside his colleagues Barrington, Gretchen Postula, Adam Bernstein, Mike Pohlen and Stefan den Doelder.
Recently, Zouber and Tom Jorgensen, co-head of North Sky’s secondaries strategy, helped raise over $250m for the firm’s latest impact secondaries fund, Clean Growth VI, which focuses on GP-led and LP-led investments across energy transition, climatech, circular economy, healthy living and related sectors.
