Profile

Aerospace engineer turned energy and sustainability solutions strategist: HVAC, energy efficiency (hardware & software), building automation, renewable energy, DER, microgrids, and VPPs.

15 years of experience across the built environment - partnering with real estate owners / operators, public-sector officials, universities, utilities, and startups to level-up their infrastructure and business. Skilled at connecting with diverse stakeholders across the value chain (boots-on-the-ground to C-suite), identifying root causes, and delivering robust solutions.

A universal translator, player-coach, and an entrepreneur at heart. I thrive on bridging disparate behaviors and cultures - between technology and operations, and tradition and innovation.
