Company Founders

Founding partners Tracey LeBeau and Carolyn Stewart formed Red Mountain Tribal Energy LLC, DBA Red Mountain Energy Partners, as a Native and women-owned business in 2006.  On December 16, 2010, it was announced at the White House Tribal Nations Summit that Red Mountain Energy Partners’ co-founder Tracey LeBeau was accepting an appointment to lead the newly created Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, which is housed in the Undersecretary’s Office in the Department of Energy.  Pursuant to federal rules, Tracey divested her interest in Red Mountain. She began her role at DOE in January 2011 and currently serves as Director, Office Indian Energy Policy and Programs. 

Carolyn Stewart, Managing Partner, has more than thirty years of energy industry and consulting experience in conventional and renewable energy development, gas and electric distribution operations, and gas/oil exploration and development-related services. Carolyn focuses on renewable energy feasibility and development, energy strategy development, and energy efficiency strategies for tribal solar and wind projects, and develops energy efficiency and renewable energy plans. She has successfully identified and accessed funding for numerous Tribes and Tribal consortia, from government agencies including U.S. DOE, U.S. DOI and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA).  Prior to co-founding Red Mountain, Carolyn headed Navigant Consulting, Inc.’s Tribal energy activities, and prior to joining Navigant Consulting, held various financial, management and operating positions at Nicor Inc. and Nicor Gas. She has worked with numerous Indian Tribes and has considerable knowledge of Southwest energy markets.  B.S., Finance, University of Illinois; M.B.A., University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business
