Expertise and Integrity - Our Co-Founders
Jason Downie and Edward Herring have worked together for more than two decades, investing $4.5 billion through four distinct commodity price cycles. During this time, they learned the value of being in the flow of the energy value chain, specialization, and moving with dexterity to identify and capitalize on emerging trends.
In 2013, Jason and Edward founded Tailwater Capital to focus on their private equity expertise on investments that improve human life through energy and growth infrastructure. As career-long partners, they instilled in the firm a spirit of teamwork, entrepreneurship, and a desire to build best-in-class businesses that serve society. They understand committing to a sector means long-term personal relationships and investment for mutual success.
