My work focuses on enabling organizations to move efficiently from research and pilot environments into reliable, high-volume production.As Director of Sales and Business Development at Digatron Power Electronics USA, I oversee regional strategy and key customer engagements for advanced battery production, formation, and testing systems across all chemistries and formats. I work directly with C-suite leaders, plant operations, and senior engineering teams to deploy capital equipment and manufacturing platforms that improve throughput, energy efficiency, and operational resilience.A core differentiator of my role is bridging academia, applied research, and industry. I have supported four advanced battery manufacturing and testing lines, including installations at the University of Alabama – AMP Center and the Washington University Clean Energy Technology Bed, and have enabled collaboration among universities, technology partners, and commercial manufacturers to accelerate the path from validation to production and develop the future workforce. I have extensive experience building and managing strategic partnerships with global engineering and automation leaders. I bring a deep understanding of the operational, financial, and technical considerations required to scale battery technologies in a rapidly evolving market.My focus is on long-term value creation—aligning emerging technologies, domestic manufacturing priorities, and customer needs to support sustainable growth and competitive advantage in the global battery ecosystem for North and South America.
