JAKE WILK, 2023 Mosaic Fellow

Jake is an MBA Candidate at University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Prior to business school, he worked at McKinsey & Company as a Business Analyst and Engagement Manager. Here, he was able to pair his passion for problem solving and impact with his passion for solving the climate crisis efficiently, effectively, and equitably. As a Sustainability Fellow at McKinsey, Jake served clients throughout the energy sector to develop and implement Energy Transition strategies, including clients within the oil & gas, utilities, and cleantech industries. Since coming to Booth, Jake has continued to pursue this passion, both in his classwork and extracurricular activities. Jake started at Energy Foundry in January 2023 as part of an immersive experience for class, and will continue his work at Energy Foundry through Summer 2023. At Energy Foundry, he is most excited to continue developing skills in early-stage, cleantech investing and learning about new areas of innovation within the cleantech space. Outside of work, Jake enjoys running alongside the Chicago lakeshore, watching Detroit sports, and reading about new topics.
