I successfully cultivated an additional new market focus for VECKTA by pursuing and securing two of the top four U.S. automotive OEM accounts, expanding VECKTA's site platform twenty-fold, creating $B in potential ARR, and solidifying the company’s significance in the sector.I expanded VECKTA’s food & beverage market focus by creating an educational and enablement pathway for the California wine industry. This initiative provided an insider’s perspective on the deployment of microgrids emphasizing energy savings, resilience, and sustainability. My outreach efforts included publishing thought leadership articles and posts on social media, participating as an exhibitor and panelist at key industry events, and engaging directly with wine industry stakeholders to bridge the gap between their needs and complex energy solutions.About VECKTA: VECKTA bridges the intent-to-deployment chasm of onsite renewable energy systems (microgrids) for complex and multi-site (national & global) Commercial & Industrial entities.

As a grower, winemaker and former winery GM for small and large wineries with complex operations, I provide exceptional insight into evaluation and selection of winery production software. In 10+ years of wine industry experience, I have used or seen most every software option available specific to the wine industry, and can compare and contrast features and pitfalls using real life experiences to exemplify comparisons. I revel in opportunities to discuss everything from winery layout, work orders and fermentation tracking, to COGS and custom crush billing capabilities. I have chosen VINx2 for the last 3 wineries I've managed or owned and endeavor to assist my colleagues with a selection that meets their needs now and in the future, offering a fit for wineries of every size.
