Wall Street
Started in finance at Goldman Sachs, where the hunt for alpha — returns beyond the market — became a career-long habit.
About
The person behind genXalpha.
genXalpha is written by John Bottomley, CFA — an investor and operator in the energy transition, with a career that runs from Wall Street to renewable-energy private equity.
Background
From alpha to Alpha.
Energy
Moved into renewable energy and private equity, backing and building projects across the energy transition, including battery storage.
Today
Invests privately across renewables, AI, bitcoin and other frontier themes — and writes about what he learns at genXalpha.
Why write
Ideas compound too.
The biggest themes of our time — the energy transition, artificial intelligence, sound digital money — cut across every generation, from Gen X to Gen Alpha. genXalpha exists to think about them out loud: clearly, independently and with skin in the game.
Alongside markets and energy, John writes about philosophy and human potential — because the best returns of all come from thinking well.
