Vice President, Business Development (Interim)
San Mateo, California, Us
I was recruited back to Zira/Lightapp for an interim project to lead business development and program management for our second California Energy Commission project. We built Persona and Account-Based marketing strategies and content, and landed 35 manufacturing plants across the state. The goal is to increase energy efficiency and OEE by 25%, while also improving Sustainability and ESG. The first project (2016-2018) achieved greater than 17% energy efficiency and OEE improvements in more than 100 plants. Zira delivers A.I. for energy management to help plants access and use real-time data on plant operations, and communicate across teams to deliver continuous improvement in manufacturing, resource usage (water, gas, electricity, raw materials) and reduce waste. Zira provides connectivity, communications, and artificial intelligence for industrial energy managers and plant management to provide teams and leadership complete visibility into plant performance, sustainability metrics, costs, and risks. The solution also delivers functional depth for teams and applications in safety, quality, maintenance and compliance.
