My role is to scale Fermata into a commercial leader in bidirectional charging and grid services.My leadership is centered on aligning cross-functional teams, advancing technology including AI-driven optimization, and executing a unified V2X strategy that delivers intelligent, resilient energy solutions for fleets, facilities, and utilities. By combining innovation with disciplined execution, I ensure that Fermata creates measurable value for partners while accelerating the transition to a clean and resilient energy future.I also continue to shape technology and AI strategy at Nuvve Holding Corp, where I played a central role in the acquisition and relaunch of Fermata’s technology portfolio. With degrees in Computer Engineering (B.Sc.) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.Sc.) from the University of Delaware, where V2G technology was first pioneered and where I contributed to early research, I bring both technical depth and operational leadership to the future of grid-integrated mobility.
