Tyson Jerry
Hydrogen Infrastructure and Investment Manager in Vancouver
I work at the intersection of energy, transportation, and climate action, focused on turning low-carbon ambition into infrastructure that actually gets built. I’ve spent the past 20 years working in clean and low-carbon transportation, and today I lead hydrogen infrastructure and investment for one of Canada’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. My work involves collaborating with fleets, OEMs, governments, regulators, and industry partners to deploy practical solutions for medium- and heavy-duty transportation, from early-stage market development and business cases to regulatory filings, capital planning, and on-the-ground project delivery. I work across hydrogen, renewable natural gas, compressed natural gas, battery-electric solutions, and the incentives and policies that make adoption possible. A big part of what I do is translating between engineering, finance, operations, and public policy so projects move forward instead of getting stuck on paper.
Earlier in my career, I took some unconventional paths into clean transportation, including establishing a Guinness World Record for the longest journey using alternative fuel. That experience shaped how I approach my work today: ambitious goals, real-world constraints, and a strong bias toward action.
Outside of work, I’m a hands-on dad to two incredible girls, and that role occupies most of my time and attention. I genuinely love being a parent, and much of my life revolves around being outside with them, whether that’s in the garden, on bikes, near the water, or exploring the backcountry. I’m an avid gardener and typically grow more than 40 different fruits and vegetables each season. When I can carve out a moment for myself, I enjoy cycling and freediving, especially when it involves pelagic life and large marine mammals. I’ve been in the water with six species of whales so far, and that sense of awe and perspective stays with me.
I’m motivated by building things that last, supporting teams that want to lead rather than follow, and helping fleets decarbonize without compromising reliability, safety, or economics. I feel privileged to live, work, and play on the unceded ancestral territories of the Coast Salish peoples, and I’m always open to connecting with people working on clean fuels, freight, infrastructure, and the future of transportation.
