WORK HISTORY
Vice President - Special Projects Iot @Olameter
Founded in 1998, Olameter is a leading provider of outsourced utility solutions in North America. We currently service over 250 clients that range from large investor and government-owned utilities to small co-ops and municipalities. As utilities move into the 21st century, seismic shifts are taking place in electricity markets around the world. Faced with evolving policy and regulatory reforms, power utilities are also being challenged to keep up with rapid advances, sharply falling costs and growth in use of renewable energy, energy storage and smart grid technologies. Such efforts place strictly regulated, conservatively run utilities at the center of fast-moving ICT trends such as advanced analytics, Artificial Intelligence and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Olameter has deep roots in the ICT space and has assembled a team of data scientists and telecommunication experts to address this opportunity especially in the small to midsized distribution market. It is our belief that IIoT is taking traditional information and communications technologies into a new direction that provides value to utilities in new and innovative ways.
