BIO
I'm Nira's CEO and lead business development. Prior to Nira, I worked with Andrew at another grid startup and built a $150M pipeline of projects in <2 years. In that role, we worked as consultants for most of the major utilities and renewable developers in the US. We are leveraging our industry expertise / network to build Nira and I couldn't be more excited about the impact we are having on accelerating renewable growth!
