With over 28 years of experience in the energy sector, I am passionate about helping federal customers improve their facility infrastructure with the next generation of energy systems and solutions. As a Federal Business Development Manager at Siemens, I leverage my credentials as a Certified Energy Manager, a Certified Demand Side Manager, and an MBA to identify and pursue strategic opportunities, establish and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, and deliver value-added proposals and presentations. I am motivated by Siemens' vision of creating a sustainable future for our planet and our people, and I bring diverse perspectives and experiences from my previous roles in microgrid, energy services, energy efficiency, and utility companies, as well as from my military background as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer in the United States Air Force.In my career, I have been instrumental in developing and executing a robust pipeline of federal energy projects, including performance contracts, utility energy service contracts, power purchase agreements, and energy as a service contracts. I have also been involved in providing leading edge microgrid and battery enabled energy storage systems for buildings and expeditionary hybrid mobile needs, leveraging my previous experience as a Manager of Military and Government Business Development at Go Electric Inc. I have demonstrated my skills in alternative energy, sustainable energy, and new business development, as well as my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, communicate effectively with customers and partners, and negotiate and close deals. I am always eager to learn new technologies, trends, and best practices in the energy sector, and to share my knowledge and insights with others.
