What We Do

Strategy that goes beyond the announcement

We don't do greenwashing. We build the infrastructure, secure the partnerships, and create the funding pathways that make sustainability real.

Public-Private Partnership Development

We identify, structure, and negotiate partnerships between athletes, brands, municipalities, and utilities, unlocking public funding and city contracts that create lasting community infrastructure.

Sustainability Platform Strategy

We build infrastructure-first sustainability brands for athletes and organizations, moving beyond symbolic advocacy toward real deployment of EV charging, clean mobility, and urban energy systems.

Government and Institutional Relations

We navigate city offices, utility partners, regional planning bodies, and federal funding programs, connecting clients to the rooms where infrastructure decisions are made.

EV Infrastructure Deployment

From site identification to utility coordination, we develop deployment roadmaps for EV charging and clean transportation projects across California and beyond.

Climate Brand Architecture

We build the narrative, the partnerships, and the proof points that position clients as serious climate leaders. Designed to withstand scrutiny and grow with each initiative.

Ecosystem Integration

We embed clients into the right networks, climate weeks, mobility conferences, Olympic sustainability initiatives, and green sports alliances, turning visibility into long-term influence.

About

Built by someone who works in the field

Srikar Kovirineni

Founder · NorthSpan Strategies

I started NorthSpan because I kept seeing the same pattern: an athlete or organization would make a big sustainability commitment, generate a wave of press, and then nothing would actually get built. The announcement was the product. I wanted to change that.

My background sits at an unusual intersection. By day I work on EV infrastructure deployment at UrbanEV, helping align charging projects with municipal and utility goals across California. Before that, I worked with the San Francisco Environment Department on clean transportation policy and with Environment and Climate Change Canada on energy systems research. I hold a Master's degree in Energy Systems Management from the University of San Francisco.

That technical foundation is what makes NorthSpan different. When I walk into a room with LADWP or the LA Mayor's Office, I'm not just representing a famous name. I understand the infrastructure, the funding mechanisms, and the policy landscape well enough to move things forward. Growing up in Canada, I learned early that building something that lasts takes more than good intentions. It takes real engineering and real relationships.
