Murat Karakum
Affiliate, Graduate School of Business - Executive Education
BioMurat Karakum leads the engineering organization at Treaty Oak Clean Energy, where he oversees the systems, standards, and technical frameworks that support a multigigawatt portfolio of utility scale solar and storage projects across the United States. His work focuses on building scalable engineering processes, cost and risk controls, and execution models that enable consistent project delivery from early-stage development through construction.
As one of Treaty Oak’s earliest employees, he built the engineering function from the ground up and established the workflows that now support the company’s 20 GW development pipeline and its transition into an independent power producer. His responsibilities span portfolio-level execution planning, integration with development, transmission, procurement, and construction, and the creation of repeatable systems that support long-term organizational scale.
His executive education includes the Stanford Executive Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business, which informs his approach to organizational design, systems thinking, and enterprise leadership during periods of rapid growth.
He previously held engineering and leadership roles at SunPower and Kier and Wright, delivering utility scale projects across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. He draws on a multidisciplinary background in civil, structural, electrical, hydrology, and geotechnical engineering to create integrated designs and frameworks across complex portfolios.
Shaped by Stanford GSB, his work centers on designing engineering systems and organizational capabilities that combine technical rigor with disciplined execution to accelerate the clean energy transition.
