David Miller, former mayor of Toronto  and clean technology advocate, has joined the Advisory Board of SAIL Capital Partners, a global investor in clean technologies.  Miller’s inclusion into the board is not by chance and the former Canadian Mayor has had extensive experience in the field of clean tech when he was selected to chair the C40 Climate Leadership Group. The C40 initiative includes the mayors of global cities that worked alongside the Clinton Climate Initiative.

 

Miller may have left his position as Mayor of Toronto in 2010 but he will still be working with the C40 thanks to a request from the current chair and Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. The former Mayor has also played an advisory role with the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations environment program. Miller is also affiliated with the Club de Madrid, which is a prestigious group of former Presidents and Prime Ministers from around the world. The list of accomplishments for the Canadian does not stop there and Miller is a part of the Boards for the Suzuki Foundation and Cape Farewell Canada. Currently Miller works with Toronto based Aird & Berlis LLP as counsel for international business and sustainability.

 

Managing Partner of SAIL Capital Partners, Walter Schindler, talked about the latest board member and said, “Mayor Miller is one of the great thought leaders in making cities and communities sustainable. We are very pleased to have such a prominent Canadian share SAIL’s vision and support our further growth and investment in Canada.”

 

Mayor Miller also spoke about his latest appointed and said, “I am delighted to join the advisory board of SAIL Capital Partners.” He continued to state that, “SAIL helps new ideas become successful businesses, ideas that answer the most pressing challenge of our time: how to unite the environment and our economy.”
