Background

About Peter Souchen

As a Commercial Manager at Catena Carbon, I am on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to circular carbon supply chains. I leverage my skills and experience in strategic planning, business development, strategic partnerships, and corporate finance to help reduce the carbon footprint of industrial emitters and convert captured CO2 into sustainable commodities. I have over 15 years of experience in business development and corporate finance, spanning various sectors and industries. Before joining Catena Carbon, I co-founded and led North Bud Farms, a publicly traded cannabis cultivator with operations in Canada and the US, where I oversaw the corporate strategy, financing, M&A and contract negotiations. I also co-founded and served as the COO of North Bud Capital, a private investment company focused exclusively on the cannabis sector. Prior to that, I built and sold a successful financial planning business as a Certified Financial Planner, advising clients on investment management, financial planning, and financial advisory. I am passionate about driving innovation and impact in the fields of carbon tech and the circular economy, as well as supporting emerging sectors with strategic and financial expertise. I am also a Strategic Advisor at BLUND, a consulting firm that provides high-level guidance and advice to leadership teams operating in fast-paced and dynamic markets. I am always looking for new opportunities and challenges to apply my skills and knowledge, and to learn from others. I am fluent in English and French, and hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance from the University of Ottawa, and completed multiple professional financial certifications: CSC, PFPC, CFP and LLQP.
