Summary

With a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an MBA, he blends deep engineering chops—from SCADA and power quality to fiber, wireless, and BPL—with proven commercial leadership in roles that scaled service lines and supported >$65M in annual revenue. He has repeatedly led turnarounds and large deployments, including early utility broadband pilots and a company-level restructuring that preceded a strategic acquisition.
