About Danny Petrecca

A pattern has repeated itself throughout my career.A company sees an opportunity to enter a new market or expand into a new vertical. The product is promising but not yet fully aligned with the market. The go-to-market strategy still needs to be built. And the organization needs someone to connect product, market demand, and revenue strategy.That is the work I’ve spent most of my career doing.For more than 25 years I’ve worked across utilities, energy, telecom, SaaS, and high-technology companies helping organizations identify emerging market opportunities, align product roadmaps with real operational needs, and design and execute the go-to-market strategies required to scale those opportunities.Sometimes that work happens inside early-stage startups. Sometimes inside smaller growth companies. And sometimes inside global enterprises. In each case the challenge is similar: aligning product, sales, partners, and executive leadership around a market opportunity and turning early traction into sustainable, scalable revenue.Along the way I’ve also experienced the full lifecycle of technology companies through three acquisitions:Miner & Miner → TelventTelvent → Schneider ElectricLocusview → ItronEach of these transitions reinforced how sustained growth, market expansion, and strategy execution translate into increased company valuation. Most recently I built and scaled Locusview’s electric utilities vertical from inception into a core growth engine within the company and participated in the strategic work that ultimately positioned the business for acquisition by Itron. Today I’m part of Itron’s Resiliency Solutions organization where I’m helping coordinate growth across newly combined platforms and teams within a global multi-billion-dollar technology enterprise.Building new vertical growth engines — and helping organizations align product, strategy, and revenue around them — remains the work I enjoy most.
