About Jeff Fantin

I am an Operational Technology leader with more than 27 years of SRP experience spanning IT infrastructure, control system architecture, and power generation technology. My career began in traditional IT engineering and consulting, but over time evolved into a deep specialization in OT systems, power plant operational support, and the technologies that keep generation assets running safely, securely, and reliably.My background in systems architecture, engineering, and enterprise operations uniquely positions me to bridge the gap between IT and OT—translating digital capabilities into real‑world value for power plants. I focus on enabling secure, modern, and resilient technology environments that directly support plant availability, NERC/CIP compliance, and safe operations.Throughout my career, I’ve partnered closely with engineering, operations, and cybersecurity teams to design, modernize, and govern critical power‑generation technologies including control systems, plant networks, virtualized DCS environments, monitoring platforms, and grid‑integration systems. I bring a detailed, methodical approach to modernization—ensuring every technology decision aligns with operational needs, risk reduction, and long-term fleet strategy.Core competencies include- Operational Technology leadership & governance- Power plant technology design, lifecycle planning, and modernization- Control system architecture & standardization- IT/OT convergence & secure infrastructure integration- NERC CIP compliance, cyber risk management & vendor access control- Virtualization, storage, automation, and high‑availability infrastructure- Project leadership and cross-functional execution- Reliability, safety, and operational excellence in generation environmentsMy experience—from consulting through enterprise leadership—has shaped a leadership style grounded in technical depth, business alignment, and a commitment to operational reliability. I’m passionate about strengthening the technology foundation that enables safe, efficient, and secure power generation.
