Douglas Jester is a Principal at 5 Lakes Energy. He possess expertise in program management, proposal writing, strategic planning, management, sustainability and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Doug's expertise is deep and unique, a wonderfully valuable combination. Doug is without a doubt one of the true experts of smart grid. In a world where a million experts sprout up fresh out of college, Doug is the real deal. He engages well with clients, is capable of being detail oriented without losing sight of the big picture, can lead others yet doesn't object to being led if the mission calls for it. If I were building my own company to enable utility clients, Doug would be one of my very first hires, and he would undoubtedly be the CTO."
