About David Eldridge

I am the Senior Director of the Services Sales & Commercial team in North and South America for Onshore Wind, responsible for leading a team that develops services solutions on new and operating wind projects, ranging from O&M strategies to parts, software, upgrades and Repower solutions. Our team\'s focus is on enabling the best producing fleet of GE wind turbines, and providing flexible services solutions that support the lifecycle of those wind assets. Prior to this role I led the global CM & U (Conversions, Modifications and Upgrades) Commercial team focused on delivering performance upgrades on operating projects. I\'ve been with the GE Wind Services team for 17 years including roles in field services, engineering, commercial management and product management, in which I helped launch both the GE PowerUp and Repower platforms to enhance the performance and value of installed base wind projects. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Summa Cum Laude in May 2009 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in Management. My engineering focus was on Energy Systems and Renewable Energy. In my senior year, I performed research on combined Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Gas Turbine Cycles and I also performed individual research on Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV).
