Wayne Sturman

For the past 20 years, Wayne Sturman has served in the fields of business and finance. Presently, Wayne Sturman serves as a partner at a real estate acquisition and finance firm. Leveraging his two decades of experience, he guides the firm through the financial marketplace and helps the company remain current on industry practices and trends.

Aware of new opportunities for growth, Wayne Sturman looks for venture capital opportunities rooted in clean and alternative energies. Most recently, Sturman co-founded a new company that produces heating and power systems for homes throughout Europe. The systems, powered by fuel cells, operate on natural gas and make use of a steam reforming procedure that extracts hydrogen, which provides power to the system's fuel cells to generate heat and electricity.

Not only do the systems make for a more resourceful use of natural gas, but they reduce carbon dioxide. In addition, the systems provide cost savings to users, significantly reducing electricity expenses and providing a viable alternative to nuclear power, a factor that appeals to European utilities as they transition from nuclear power to clean energy technologies. As Wayne Sturman often points out to peers and clients, the company's heating-and-power systems represent one of many innovations made in the alternative energy sector. Other technologies such as wind turbines and photovoltaic energy also result in significant reductions in pollution and allow individuals and businesses to gradually decrease their reliance on fossil fuels.

Before entering the workforce, Wayne Sturman studied at Ithaca College in New York, where he earned placement in Delta Mu Delta International Honor Society in Business and Phi Kappa Phi. Pursuing graduate education, Sturman matriculated at New York University and studied real estate finance and taxation.
