I’m an experienced sales and business development executive dedicated to accelerating the clean energy transition. My focus spans demand response (DR), distributed energy resources (DERs), virtual power plants (VPPs), and DERMS technologies—solutions that are reshaping how we manage and optimize the grid. Over the past decade, I’ve collaborated with dozens of large investor-owned utilities and technology partners to design and scale customer-centric VPP programs that are currently delivering over 500 MW of managed capacity. My strength lies in bridging the gap between complex grid challenges and actionable market strategies. I have extensive experience crafting compelling technical proposals for utility RFPs, presenting VPP solutions to utility executives, and leading contract negotiations from award to execution. Key skills: sales / business development, product development, strategic planning, channel development, innovative thought, and entrepreneurial mindset. Industry Knowledge: Virtual Power Plants (VPP), DERMS, Demand Response (DR), Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), smart thermostats, batteries, EVs.
