Redaptive’s C-PACE team is led by EVP of Strategic Projects Joel Ullmann, who led the project development and closing of some of the largest PACE transactions in the history of the program. Redaptive Executive Chairman John Rhow was an early pioneer in the PACE industry, having sponsored its legislative adoption across the US during his time at Barclays Capital. Under his leadership, Barclays was one of the first major banks to offer warehouse credit lines which fostered the early development of the Commercial PACE market in 2010-2012.
