Charles McGarraugh brings decades of financial, strategic, and capital markets experience to OceanWell, helping guide the company’s long-term growth and infrastructure development.
A former Partner at Goldman Sachs, Charlie has held senior leadership positions across financial technology, commodities markets, and investment management, including at Altis Partners. His experience managing global commodities exposed him to the growing impact of water scarcity across industries and economies, leading him to explore the critical role that water infrastructure will play in the future.
As Executive Chairman, Charlie works closely with OceanWell’s leadership team on corporate strategy, financing, and long-term market development. He believes that while transformational infrastructure requires patience and significant investment, it also creates the foundation for lasting resilience and economic prosperity.
For Charlie, OceanWell represents an opportunity to build essential infrastructure for a world where reliable access to freshwater will increasingly define both environmental and economic security.
