Vancouver’s former mayor Gregor Robertson has a new job at a green construction firm.
Nexii Building Solutions Inc., a Canadian green building and construction technology company, announced Tuesday that Robertson has been hired as its executive vice president of strategy and partnerships.
In a statement, Robertson said he is focusing his efforts on the climate crisis, and that buildings are a large source of climate pollution.
“That’s why when Nexii – the creators of new breakthrough green building technologies – asked me to join their team, I didn’t hesitate. I’m proud to be part of a Canadian company with significant potential to make a huge positive impact on the environment and communities globally,” he said, in a statement released by Nexii.
CEO of Nexii Stephen Sidwell said they value Roberton’s leadership and that he brings “a unique understanding of how cities, developers, and construction companies can work together to provide more sustainable buildings.”
Robertson was mayor of Vancouver for a decade before announcing in January 2018 that he would not seek re-election.
