Ryan Little, Co-Founder and Vice President of Business Development, StormFisher Biogas
Ryan Little is Co-Founder and Vice President of Business Development of StormFisher Biogas, an Ontario-based renewable energy utility that converts food processing by-products into natural gas and electricity. With $350 million in project capital available to develop 30 projects in the next five years, StormFisher has the largest pool of capital in the world to develop biogas plants. Prior to co-founding StormFisher, Ryan launched a firm that would eventually become the world's first business-to-business e-commerce application for the energy industry, where he would garner the distinction of being Canada's youngest CEO of an incorporated company. Later, during his first year at Queen's University in 1999 and with proceeds from his success with his web services firm, he co-founded an online charity, CanadaHelps, which has raised more than $70 million in charitable donations to-date. Ryan holds a BA from Queen's University and an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario and HEC Paris. He is regularly featured in business publications, speaks to audiences worldwide about social and environmentally-conscious entrepreneurship, and is the recipient of several awards, especially for his work in the charitable sector.
