Since joining BridgePeak in 2021, Cooney has been directly involved in more than $3.0 billion of loan closings across more than 220 transactions. His experience spans development, construction, and term financings, including the structuring and execution of complex credit facilities across a wide range of distributed generation and infrastructure assets.

Cooney has been instrumental in scaling BridgePeak’s origination, underwriting, and closing functions while supporting the expansion of the firm’s platform into portfolio management and loan servicing. He now manages these functions, including asset performance, credit monitoring, and reporting across a growing portfolio. Under his oversight, BridgePeak has developed a scalable servicing platform designed to support bank and institutional partner requirements across the full lifecycle of a loan.

He has also played a central role in expanding BridgePeak’s West Coast presence. After beginning his career in Chicago, Cooney relocated to San Diego, where he has led the buildout of the firm’s office, which now includes a growing team of eight full-time professionals spanning origination, structuring, closing, and portfolio management functions. This expansion has strengthened BridgePeak’s ability to serve developers, sponsors, and capital partners across key U.S. energy markets.

Cooney began his career at KPMG Management Consulting in Chicago, where he worked in the firm’s financial services practice, advising capital markets and banking clients on strategic and operational engagements. He earned his undergraduate degree from Claremont McKenna College, where he served as a two-year varsity football team captain, an experience that continues to inform his leadership style and disciplined approach to execution.

In 2025, Cooney was selected as a Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) Key Associate, a program that engages high-potential leaders in forums alongside senior executives and operators across a broad range of industries.

“Mac combines intellectual rigor with the ability to execute at scale. Most importantly, he is able to build and lead highly effective teams,” said Shawn Andrews, Chief Executive Officer of BridgePeak Energy Capital. “This promotion reflects both his historic contributions to the firm and the role he will continue to play in our growth.”

“BridgePeak has always been focused on building a platform that delivers quality credit investments for our lending partners,” said Cooney. “I’m excited to continue scaling that platform alongside our amazing team.”

Cooney’s promotion to Partner reflects BridgePeak’s commitment to investment in leadership and platform infrastructure.
