Rini and Phillip are each proven leaders in their respective
fields, and we’re proud to have them join us.”
Trevor Neilson is co-founder, Chairman and CEO of WasteFuel, a

“I’m thrilled to be joining Novus Capital as part of its ESG
strategy,” Neilson said. “There’s tremendous potential in this
area, and it’s exciting to be included.”
Rini Greenfield is the founding General Partner of Rethink Food,
