Cully Cavness
Co-founder, President & Chief Strategy Officer, Crusoe
Cully Cavness spent his early career at the intersection of energy and environment — in geothermal power, energy investment banking, and upstream oil and gas operations. For years he watched the energy industry struggle with a problem hiding in plain sight: vast amounts of energy going up in flames, literally, in the form of natural gas flaring. Co-founding Crusoe in 2018 was his answer to that waste. Today he leads Crusoe's strategy, marketing, public affairs, sustainability, safety and manufacturing initiatives as the company scales into the world's most ambitious vertically-integrated AI infrastructure builder. Before Crusoe, Cully was VP of Finance at Highlands Natural Resources and an energy investment banker at Petrie Partners. He holds a geology degree from Middlebury, an MBA from Oxford, and completed a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship focused on energy economics and technologies. He's also an endurance athlete having completed IronMan, Death Race and several ultramarathons.
