About

Hi, I'm Brian Guinn.

I've spent nearly two decades building, acquiring, and operating energy assets across Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. My career has always lived at the intersection of deal-making and operations — from managing a $20M equity portfolio in private equity to co-founding and running oil and gas companies with hundreds of wells and thousands of acres of leasehold.

Today, I'm Chairman and CEO of United Energy Corporation, a publicly traded energy company (OTC: UNRG) I've led since October 2019. I also lead M&A strategy and operations at Galaga Resources — an energy-sector consultancy where I've spent over a decade on deal sourcing, acquisition strategy, and capital structuring.

I started at 4G Private Equity, where I managed a $20M equity portfolio and funded startups in alternative energy and E&P. From there I became CFO of Petrolia Group, orchestrating over $40M in transactions including a $35M divestiture that delivered approximately 500% ROI. In 2013 I joined Galaga Resources on M&A strategy, and in 2015 I co-founded Mac 5 Operating in the Texas Panhandle — raising over $6M across five named transactions. Along the way I advised Deeprock on blockchain applications in energy and ran capital raises at Seven P Capital. The thread through all of it is the same: find undervalued energy assets, structure the capital to acquire them, and operate them better than anyone expected.
