Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Russell is a strategic leader with nine years of experience scaling EV charging businesses and a deep track record in P&L, infrastructure planning, and energy technology for public fast-charging networks. As Senior Director, Charging & Energy Services at Electrify America he leads site economics, pricing strategy, grid services, renewables access, and incentives optimization while previously securing regulator-approved multi-hundred-million investment plans and $450M in financing. He blends rigorous analytics (SQL and data science coursework) with practical strategy—driving pricing transformations, econometric site selection, and decisions to insource charging software for speed and better customer outcomes. Comfortable at the intersection of finance, policy, and engineering, he also represents VW in an international fast-charging JV, reflecting his ability to navigate complex stakeholder ecosystems. A former consultant and DoD budget analyst, he brings uncommon fluency in public-sector funding and incentive mechanisms that materially de-risk large infrastructure deployments.
