E Jones

E. Bartow Jones is a Partner at Riverstone Holdings LLC, the New York–based private-markets asset management firm that invests primarily in energy, power and infrastructure. He is described in firm and industry materials as Partner and Co-Head of Private Equity and as a Managing Director. He joined Riverstone in 2001, near the firm's founding (Riverstone was established in 2000 by David M. Leuschen and Pierre F. Lapeyre, Jr.), and has spent essentially his entire private-equity career there.

Before Riverstone, Jones worked as an Associate in the Mergers & Acquisitions group at J.P. Morgan in New York. He earned a B.S. in Commerce, with concentrations in both Finance and Accounting, from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia.

Over his tenure, Jones has been active across a range of energy sub-sectors, with particularly deep experience in midstream, mining, and exploration and production. He has represented Riverstone on numerous portfolio-company boards, including Foresight Energy (Foresight Reserves L.P. / FELP), Quintana Shipping, Niska Gas Storage Partners, Penn Virginia Resource Partners (PVR), Targe Energy and Hammerhead Resources. It's worth flagging that this profile corrects the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" label attached to the source stub: Jones and Riverstone operate as an institutional energy private-equity investor, not as an angel or seed-stage backer.

• Invests through Riverstone's institutional private-equity strategy — leveraged buyouts, growth capital and structured/credit investments — rather than early-stage angel checks.
• Sector specialization in energy and power: midstream (pipelines, gas storage, gathering & processing), mining, and oil & gas exploration & production, with exposure to renewables/clean energy infrastructure.
• Backs companies where Riverstone can deploy large, structured capital and take active governance roles (board seats, management partnership), consistent with Jones's history of sitting on portfolio boards.
• Riverstone has raised on the order of $40+ billion since inception, so relevant deal sizes are institutional — platform build-outs, buyouts, and growth financings, not seed rounds.
