I’m a senior business development leader for the EV Fast Charging industry with over 6 years of institutional knowledge in public charging and fueling station infrastructure projects and over 9 years of experience in renewable energies and project management. I’m dedicated to accelerating adoption of electric vehicles by leveraging my expertise in business development, go-to-market plans, market/portfolio analysis, and EV modeling to develop fast charging infrastructure across the country. My leadership strengths in strategic planning, market analysis, sales, contract negotiations, and team development have proven to be highly valuable in the young, hyper-growth era of the eMobility industry. I drive B2B enterprise sales and marketing by developing solid economic modeling that demonstrates clear ROI and then providing sound advice based on the model that best aligns with a company’s business goals. As an analyst with subject matter expertise in the EV market, I understand the market trends, growth, and forecasting. I have the rare skill of seeing raw data from multiple perspectives and crafting stories with out-of-the-box thinking, which helps me to develop pros and cons and create roadmaps for long-term strategy. I train my team to do that too. As a team leader, I hire coachable people and develop their strengths through continuous coaching and training, collaborating with other departments, and debriefing on lessons learned. I build cohesive teams with a strong culture. I collaborate across Hardware, Software, Engineering, Analytics, and Marketing to strengthen value propositions, improve win rates, and negotiate profitable contracts. Importantly, I understand the EV industry and have a well-developed national network of people throughout the ecosystem. I also have the personal grit and dedication to persevere during hard times and keep motivating my team because I believe in the value of this market. Outside of work, I recharge by visiting new places - via motorcycle, hiking, or traveling. Would my skills benefit your EV fast charging business? DM me to talk!
