Steph Wright
At the helm of Novabell is Steph, the President & Founder and a dedicated advocate for startups embarking on journeys of growth. An integral part of the bustling Tech and Startup ecosystem, she wears multiple hats as a coach, executive-in-residence, and mentor, all aimed at nurturing founders' visions into thriving, investment-ready enterprises.
Steph's career spans over 20 years in the energy and climate technology sectors, encompassing diverse roles ranging from corporate finance to business development. Of notable mention is her pivotal role as a founding executive and Vice President of a private energy firm. Here, her focus was on transforming legacy oil assets in Alberta into ecologically sustainable ventures, driven by innovative CCUS and oilfield waste-to-power projects.
Her journey also comprises significant milestones, including her leadership in propelling the development of an asset in Chad from its inception to a peak production of 25,000 barrels per day, culminating in a successful sale to Glencore UK Ltd. Throughout her professional trajectory, Steph has orchestrated investment initiatives collectively exceeding the billion-dollar mark.
Beneath her professional prowess lies an unwavering commitment to the clean energy transition and a fervent dedication to diversifying Calgary's economy. Beyond her role, she finds solace in outdoor pursuits as a mountain explorer and an advocate for rescue dogs. Her passion fuels her through ultramarathons across a global array of terrains, and her weekends often see her scaling mountains or paddling tranquil alpine lakes. At home, her two rescue companions, Rose and Nova, claim their presence – even making memorable appearances during animated Zoom calls. Since 2010, Steph has been an active volunteer and foster participant for Animal Rescue Foundation Alberta, leaving a positive impact on the welfare of fellow rescue dogs.
