CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Donovan Energy, Cincinnati’s leading clean energy development and finance company, announces its latest hire, Alex Hurley. Hurley’s background focuses on the intersection of environmental science and policy, and his passion lies in making a positive social impact in clean energy and sustainability. Serving as Policy and Data Analyst, Hurley reports to existing Partner Nachy Kanfer, who leads Donovan Energy’s consulting practice.

As Policy and Data Analyst at Donovan Energy, Hurley will support the company’s private sector and non-profit clients with qualitative and quantitative analysis and business insight.
