Michael Cullen

Project Development Counsel

Mainstream Renewable Power

Mike Cullen began his legal career in oil and gas as an in-house lawyer for Aker Solutions.  During that time, he managed the company’s legal affairs for its North America operations and handled negotiations internationally.  In 2018, Aker Solutions decided to leverage its offshore expertise and incubate an offshore wind development business.  Mike took the global legal lead of that business, in addition to maintaining leadership of the North American legal operations.  In 2020, after successfully concluding development partnerships in the US, UK and Asia, Aker decided to spin-out the offshore wind development business as its own company, Aker Offshore Wind.  Two years later, Aker Offshore Wind was merged into Mainstream Renewable Power (a recent addition to the Aker Group).  Today, Mike is Project Development Counsel - Asia & Americas for Mainstream Renewable Power and focused on offshore opportunities and projects.
