About Bob Gohn

As a marketing veteran, I have worn many hats: executive, product manager, strategist, engineer, market researcher, tech evangelist, marketer, and consultant. The common thread is a passion for translating technology innovations into profitable businesses that serve real customer needs.I’ve had the good fortune to engage in some major market transformations. I'm currently focused on energy transformation, specifically advanced energy storage. Earlier, it was the telecom IP revolution, and integrated systems-on-chip. Along the way, I’ve learned some things:- I know the full ‘marketing toolkit,’ from early strategy through market execution.- My technical background helps me grasp complex concepts better than most marketers.- I am an effective market spokesperson.- As an engineer, I can earn the trust of technical staff.- Empathizing with customers, their needs, and decision-making is easy for me.- My intuition for market requirements is good; verifiable data is better; both is best.- I value skilled sales professionals, and love improving their effectiveness.- New and changing markets drive more excitement than fear- I know when and how to scale internal processes in sync with business growth.- Simple and consistent messaging is the most powerful.- Team success is more satisfying than individual achievement.Today, I'm at Enel X applying advanced optimization technologies to Front-of-the-Meter energy storage projects within Enel, the global energy leader.TECHNOLOGIES:Energy Storage • Smart Grid • Intelligent Buildings • Smart Meters • Energy Efficiency • M2M • Industrial IoT • Wireless Sensors • Enterprise Networks • Cybersecurity • Embedded Systems • Software & Tools • Semiconductors SKILLS:Product & Corporate Strategy • Market & Business Development • Product Life-Cycle • Go-to-Market Strategy • Market & Competitive Analysis • Partnering • Product Marketing • Marketing Communications • Press/Analyst/Investor Relations • Technical Support
