Director, Epc Automation @Gray AES

Lexington, KY, US

As Director of EPC Automation at Gray AES, I lead the integration of automation and digital strategy into the front-end of major capital projects. My mission: make automation indispensable in the earliest phases of design-build delivery where scope is shaped, value is created, and risk is most controllable.By embedding automation early, we help customers make smarter, faster decisions to reduce late-stage surprises, improving operational readiness, and unlocking long-term digital value. I ensure automation is aligned to business goals and not bolted on after the fact. It’s about delivering future-ready facilities with fewer change orders, tighter schedules, and more predictable outcomes.My focus is clear: turn automation into a growth engine for Gray and a competitive edge for our customers.
