“I enjoy working with all the different teams within the company to achieve a single goal,” says Corey. He came to CPower in November 2014 from Comverge where he handled project management and analyst responsibilities. His philosophy on both personal and professional fronts? “Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.” And when he’s not doing some heavy thinking (or trying to keep up with his newborn son and miniature schnauzer), this die-hard Detroit Red Wings fan indulges in his love of heavy music playing guitar, drums and bass in a number of different bands.

When it comes to what he enjoys most in his professional life, Andrew says that it’s “learning and being challenged.” He certainly found the right place for that. His role puts him at the crossroads of the ever-evolving demand-side energy management world (microgrids, renewables, storage) and the ever-threatening cybersecurity world. Fortunately, Andrew’s the right person for the job. He appreciates CPower’s positive culture, as well as the opportunity to work on a lot of new and exciting projects that in advance of what most companies would be doing. In the office, customers are his focus. “Working in IT support, I get to talk to people having problems every day, sometimes in very frustrating situations,” he says. “I look at this as an opportunity to help fix problems and hopefully make someone’s day better.” In his spare time Andrew enjoys traveling with his girlfriend, building computers, playing guitar, and Baltimore sports. At home or at work, Andrew has one constant secret to success: “Be patient, and be polite.” That’s a philosophy we can all live by.

Alain is a man of few words. But one of them is “customer.”
