Brendan joined World Energy in 2006 when the company was transitioning from selling blended fuels to downstream fleets and government organizations to becoming a global biodiesel trading company. By the end of 2009, World Energy sought a new and exciting venture as a biomass-based diesel producer. Today, with one of North America’s largest biofuel production and distribution platforms in place, World Energy has come full circle and is bringing low-carbon solutions directly to the downstream user.

As one of the first members of the executive team, Brendan led the effort to build out the infrastructure supporting the business. However, he also had the vision to create a path forward, understanding that an innovative business always needs room to evolve. Brendan continues to manage the backbone of the company, leading feedstock and chemical purchasing as well as supporting logistics, IT, and byproduct sales.

Brendan’s career history includes several prominent leadership roles, including many years as a second officer piloting oil and chemical tankers as a member of the American Maritime Officer Union. Brendan received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Transportation from The Massachusetts Maritime Academy and is a member of the Regiment of Cadets, and national organizations including YPO and CEO.
