Our Team

Brian Barr and Graham Findlay founded the 3G group in 2001 with the shared belief that the coming shift to a low carbon economy would produce exciting business opportunities.  The first product of that vision was Vector Wind Energy Inc. which was successfully floated on the Toronto Venture stock exchange in 2005 before being sold in 2007 and producing a 400% gain for our original shareholders. 

Brian Barr

Brian focuses on business issues for the group.  He guided Vector through its initial public listing and was responsible for its overall strategy.  Brian has held several director and executive officer positions with public companies in Canada and the United States over the last 15 years.  He is an attorney with over 25 years experience in international, corporate and energy law.  Brian also has a degree in business administration from Carleton University.

Graham Findlay

Graham concentrates on the technical and engineering challenges involved in renewable energy development and deployment.  He brings over 25 years of engineering and project management skills to the team.  A former director of the Building Owners and Managers Association, (“BOMA”) of Ottawa, Graham is uniquely qualified to lead our commercial rooftop solar projects.  Currently he serves as Treasurer of the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association where he provides policy input for the Green Energy Act.  Mr. Findlay has a B Sc (Civil Engineering) degree from Queen’s University in Kingston, an MBA from University of Toronto and is registered as a P. Eng. in Ontario.
