Brian Falik is the Global Chief Investment Officer at Mercuria, one of the world's largest independent energy and commodities trading firms, a position he has held since 2024. In this role, he leads a dedicated team of investment professionals in the strategic deployment of debt and equity capital across the energy and infrastructure industries. Based in the New York City metropolitan area, Falik has been with Mercuria since January 2016, initially serving as Chief Investment Officer Americas for Mercuria Energy America LLC before being elevated to the global role. His investment mandate spans the full energy asset class, encompassing both debt and equity deployment into energy and related infrastructure assets, and he has been a featured speaker at CERAWeek, the premier energy industry conference.
Prior to joining Mercuria, Falik served as the Global Head of Energy Capital at Noble Group from February 2012 until September 2015, where he successfully led investment and structured transaction teams, enhancing the company's portfolio and market position. Before his tenure at Noble Group, he held senior leadership positions focused on investment, structured finance, and commodities at LS Power Group, Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, and Bank of America. He began his career at Enron, building a foundation in energy markets and commodities that has informed his subsequent investment leadership roles across multiple major financial and energy institutions over more than two decades.
Falik holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin, which he completed between 1997 and 2001. He currently serves as a director on the board of Rice Acquisition Corporation 3 (NASDAQ: KRSP), a blank check SPAC formed to effect a business combination in the energy value chain, which completed its IPO on October 1, 2025. In addition to his SPAC board role, Falik serves as a board member at Validere Technologies Inc., a Canadian energy software and measurement company, and as an advisor to Solar Proponent LLC, a solar energy investment platform. He also holds an observer role at Catalyze Holdings, LLC. His involvement in notable industry transactions includes participation in the opening of Pin Oak Terminals alongside Mercuria colleagues, reflecting his active engagement in energy infrastructure development. Falik's deep industry and investing experience across the energy value chain, spanning principal investing, structured finance, and commodities at both financial institutions and physical commodity trading houses, underpins his qualification to serve on public company boards in the energy sector.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002078161 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 10 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 7 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
