Smart Grid Business Development Leader @Ge Grid Solutions

Atlanta, GA, US

With the integration of Alstom Grid with GE Digital Energy to form GE Grid Solutions, I am responsible for developing Smart Grid new business opportunities in the Americas. These new business opportunities are focused on solutions, or technology components integrated together to successfully interoperate to address the business needs of electric utility customers. I identify new business opportunities to build the Smart Grid opportunity pipeline, cultivate and grow these opportunities, close the opportunities into new projects, provide thought leadership, hold leadership positions in key industry organizations, and influence government and regulatory organizations.
