“All in” …these two words define Jobin’s professional approach to any challenge he undertakes. “Being committed 100% will position you to bring out your very best, and that in turn will reward everyone who interacts with you, including customers, coworkers, and friends”.

Jobin has been with CPower since Nov 2014 and his commitment during this short span has enabled him to quickly transition from his initial role as Energy Engineer to ISO New England (ISONE) Market Development Manager. And he’s clearly well qualified for the role with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University and Masters of Science (M.S.) in Energy Management from New York Institute of Technology.

When he’s not thinking about energy-related challenges, Jobin considers himself a weekend warrior focused on honing his football and basketball skills. He’s a die-hard Iowa State Cyclones fan who also loves the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks (with apologies to his New York and New England colleagues). He’s also actively involved with humanitarian mission trips and local volunteering events.

“Working in an environment that is sincere and transparent in helping you grow in your career as well as positioning you to be successful is a blessing,” says Jobin. We’re certainly blessed to have him on the CPower team!

“I knew I was going to be an engineer since my parents bought me a drafting board and kit equipped with T square, triangles and compasses in the sixth grade.” Ray can now easily lay claim to being the company “veteran”, going back with the organization over 20 years starting with Delmarva Power which became Conectiv Solutions, then Enerwise Global Technologies, then Comverge, and ultimately CPower! And the key to this long successful run? “I think it’s so important to listen twice as much as you speak, as customers will tell you the issues they need help with, but you have to really listen!”A ‘one size’ fits all approach definitely does not work in the energy and demand management market, says Ray. “I love working in the energy field, and CPower affords me the opportunity to work across all vertical markets for the Commercial, Industrial and Institutional segments. This breadth and depth of diversity in our customer base — from the largest industrial plants to commercial office buildings, hospitals and small box retail stores — helps keep things interesting and affords constant opportunities for learning and growth.” Ray holds a BSME from Widener University and was inducted into Tau Beta Pi in college as a lifelong member (the National Engineering Honor Society where only the top 4% are selected to join). He is an avid reader and family historian, and enjoys taking day trips and traveling with his wife and their two cocker spaniels.

Glenn brings to CPower more than 20 years of sales experience in the enterprise software and energy industries.

He has also broadened his experience at SAP America, where he served as the National Vice President of the Energy & Utility consulting practice responsible for managing the strongest growth business in the North America Field Services. Prior to his tenure with SAP, Glenn held sales and consulting management positions with Oracle, Ventyx and i2 Technologies. Glenn joined CPower in August 2015 as the Vice President and General Manager of Sales in the PJM market. Since then he’s come to love the challenges working at CPower presents, as well as the opportunities he has to collaborate with great people doing meaningful work that truly makes a difference. Glenn earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland.

She also has more than 10 years of engineering experience in the energy industry and passion for helping organizations achieve sustainability. Part of what makes Danielle such a valuable team member for CPower is her ability to explain complex issues in an easy-to-understand way, a skill she gained as an Educational Studies minor in college and as a college professor prior to joining CPower.Danielle recently joined the CPower team when the company acquired eCap Network, a leading energy efficiency measurement and verification firm in the PJM market.

“I believe in order to create something great, you need to work as a team. Nothing truly revolutionary in the past decade has come from a single individual. To execute a truly great idea you need a team of people working closely together with various skills to bring something great to the world. At CPower I think we have that.” -Chris Chris came to CPower looking for the chance to be a part of a great team working together to do great things. He wanted to be part of a fast paced team dedicated to creating and utilizing the latest technology to provide an industry-leading service to its customers. Looks like he’s found his team.

David’s software development career reads like a who’s who of American business and technology, with stops at Nike, Intel, and WebMD. On the energy side, he’s also developed software for the Bonneville Power Administration and Pacific Gas & Electric (the utility, not the ‘60s band). As part of the CPower development team, David gets to help build CPower’s platforms into robust tools for helping customers manage their energy in the dizzyingly evolving energy sector. “CPower is a dynamic company full of interesting technical challenges,” he says, “and a good team of people.” Beyond the code David and his dogs Karma and Quasar, also known as the Squirrel Patrol, participate in a variety of canine sports, including the high-energy sport Flyball. He’s also a skilled photographer, capturing Flyball’s energetic canine participants in exuberant and occasionally gravity-defying poses as they compete.

As the Dispatch team member responsible for logger validation, Steve has a central role in the demand response process. Steve monitors and validates a steady flow of customer data in real time so that when an event is called, he can verify that the customer’s systems are in compliance. (That, in turn, ensures accurate payments to the customer.) Customers interested into gaining insight into their power usage can see Steve’s real-time data stream in CPower’s app. He loves that DR and energy management are, from his front-row seat, dynamic and fast moving. For Steven, “everything is done to improve the customer experience. Period.” When not tracking data, he’s learning VBA to help automate and improve

CPower’s internal reporting processes. Steven is an active supporter of craft beer, going to new breweries and trying a new beer at every opportunity.

Beatrice started out in energy management before the ink was dry on her college degree. “I worked in PJM right after college for eight years in multiple markets, gaining experience and knowledge of the PJM wholesale market” she says. “I then used those skills in private organizations, starting in 2010 at EnergyConnect, then iDR and now CPower.” Her approach to work is to, “Do your best every day, even if nobody notices, and be creative in solving problems.” She finds CPower to be a diverse company in many ways, standing strong under changes of the Demand Response World. Beatrice graduated Cum Laude from Temple University in Electrical Engineering with a Computer option. She is also fluent in Russian and Ukrainian. She lives with her husband and two bright, energetic children, and they keep very busy with their extra-curricular activities and socializing with family and friends. They are currently in negotiations about getting a dog, but have to take into consideration the vacations they take visiting her parents overseas and her in-laws in Maine. Someday she hopes to take up golf.

“We are making a difference in the world, one watt at a time.” – Kyle comes to the office each day knowing that CPower and its customers are doing work that matters “Collectively, demand management companies represent thousands of megawatts of generation that we no longer need to produce from dirty fossil fuel plants,” he says. “I breathe a little easier every day knowing that companies like ours are trying to make a difference for the benefit of the environment.” The only thing that makes Kyle happier than working amongst such talented team members at CPower is knowing that many of his co-workers are also his best friends. Kyle is an AEE Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and an AEE Certified Demand Side Management professional (CDSM). His two kids keep him busier than any IT glitch. When he does manage some free time, Kyle enjoys playing volleyball, skiing, snowboarding, and anything on the water.

In the 20-plus years that John has written for business, he has maintained one focus: Find the story and tell the story, with clarity and heart. “At the center of every good story is a relationship,” John says. “For CPower, it’s the relationship between us and our customers, how we work with them to create success. And just looking at the breadth and diversity of our customer base and our programs, I’ll never run out of great stories to tell.” John is no stranger to energy, having served as the Marketing Communications Writer for Constellation Energy, one of CPower’s corporate ancestors.

“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.

Even though his title is Director of Market Development, Dann’s primary focus isn’t always on making the sale. To him, earning a customer’s trust and respect is often more important. This wins him respect from his clients in return, and is a philosophy he’s been able to employ consistently at CPower. “I love that we have the ability to get to know our customers, their business and their challenges so that we can work with them directly on their specific needs.” he says. Dann has been with CPower since the beginning, and spent 7 years in the industry prior to coming on board. Dann and his wife have three young children and spend most of their life outside of CPower coaching them in various sports, goofing around and, he hopes, teaching them a few things. Dann is a die hard Mets fan, which he admits is somewhat of a curse.

Tatiana came to CPower in 2015 from PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she spent four years in public accounting. From the start, her financial instincts and accounting skills made her an invaluable asset to the young company. For her part, Tatiana loves working for a small company filled with dynamic changes and interesting challenges. “I’m a strong believer that there is always more to learn and the best way to learn by doing,” Tatiana says. “I also like to see a bigger picture in everyday work, and I have a feeling that whatever I do can have an impact and leave this world a better place.” Still growing professionally, Tatiana is using her CPA as a springboard toward completing her MBA by the end of 2018. At home, Tatiana finds her time happily consumed by her six-month-old, but she also makes sure to find time to get outside–hiking, biking, skiing, and rock climbing. (If she needs an adrenaline kick, she might go skydiving or scuba diving.) If you’re looking for her on a rainy day, check the latest museum exhibit.

Michele’s business philosophy can be summed up in four words: “We are better together.” That’ been a guiding light throughout her technology-based career. Over 20 years in a number of roles—analyst, management, procurement, sales—Michele relied on her team approach to generate success for her company and the very best experience for her customers. That also makes CPower a perfect fit. “The culture that CPower has created for their employees is very rewarding and very empowering,” she says. “Everyone here has the same mission, and is a unified team! I truly love working with our customers, providing the highest level of care, and as a bonus put money back in their bottom line!” That pretty much sums up CPower’s business philosophy, too. Outside of CPower, Michele is involved in multiple activities in her community and enjoys live music. And as someone who believes in always being a student and learning something new, Michele loves to explore and travel with her family—“I want to see what’s out there!”

“Do the right thing for the customer and the rest will work out.” -Rocco Rocco whole-heartedly believes that the reliability of our nation’s electrical grid is a significant factor in our country being stronger than many others. He also believes in demand response as a means to keeping the grid stable and our nation secure. “When organizations participate in demand response, they work as a collaborative member of their community,” Rocco asserts. “CPower administers demand response in a responsible and effective way, and I’m proud to be a part of it.” Rocco holds several degrees, including a BS in industrial engineering from State University of New York at Buffalo, an ME in environmental engineering from the University of Florida (Go Gators), and an MBA from DePaul University.

A huge advocate for work-life balance, Tonya understands it’s CPower’s people who are central to our—and our customers’—success. “You can have the best strategies and processes in the world,” she says, “but if you don’t have the hearts and minds of the employees, none of it comes to life.” She’s devoted her professional life to those hearts and minds, with a BS in human resource management and 15 years’ experience managing a full spectrum of HR programs, services, and functions in both the private and public sectors.

What attracted Brad Widdup to CPower? “I have the ambition to learn and do something different that has a positive impact on the world,” he says. “I like that we’re big enough to deliver but small enough to care.” These are strengths that he feels will open up new opportunities as he helps CPower expand into the Canadian market. Throughout his 25 years in the energy industry, which includes serving as regional vice president for Oracle’s Utilities Global Business Unit, Brad has excelled by practicing some very basic rules. “I just always try to take the best care of my customers (and employees) as possible, do the right thing for them, treat people with respect and in the same manner that I would expect to be treated, and conduct myself in the most honest and ethical manner possible,” he says. CPower’s family-oriented culture is a perfect fit for Brad, who has been heavily involved in managing his daughters’ rep/all-star soccer and basketball teams in their community of Flamborough, Ontario. When he has time, he enjoys playing hockey and golf, skiing, fishing, and family camping trips.
