Georgia is a team player. Her motto is, “Treat others how you would want to be treated, and always maintain open lines of communication.” She sees CPower as a team running a machine, and believes, “There is no ‘them and us’ when it comes to the internal workings of our company.” So, if you are getting or giving push back, expect Georgia to be all over it – finding the cause of the push back, working with the group pushing back and getting the issue resolved as quickly as possible. In her role as a Business Analyst, this makes her a valued team member. In addition to her bachelor’s degree, Georgia has an Associates in Graphic Design, A+ Hardware certification and intends on working on more certifications in the future. All of which is somewhat lost on her two four-legged fur babies, Cotton and Bingo! who are more impressed by her snuggling talents during a Netflix Marathon of Doctor Who. When they allow her to leave the house, she may attend an occasional wine tasting with her girlfriends.

Keith Black’s professional credo is short and to the point: “Listen and learn.” “Whether in business or life, these actions will open your mind to other ideas or possibilities, helping expand your knowledge base,” he says. It’s a philosophy that has served him well over his 30+ years in the energy industry, including serving as VP and GM for Constellation Energy. In fact, that’s one reason he chose CPower. “I appreciate the people and the culture CPower’s built over the last six years,” he says.”Plus, I’m able to work with many peers from my Constellation days as CPower became part of the solutions business.” Keith enjoys being a trusted energy advisor to both prospects and customers, enabling them to manage risk over time, lower costs, and utilize renewable resources when possible. Customer focus, of course, is a big part of that, he says. “Customer focus has challenged me to learn more about how the energy markets work, are influenced by demand, weather, and regulatory policy plus how products & services can interact or impact customers.”

Kellen serves commercial and industrial organizations across this US with a previous focus in the ever-expanding Midwest market. He is on his second tour of duty with CPower’s sales team; as a Sales Executive during CPower’s first year of operation, he helped establish the company’s presence in the Midwest. In the interim, Kellen provided customers with energy management and energy efficiency lighting solutions with Wesco Energy Solutions.

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.

When Millie joined CPower, she brought with her a deeply held commitment to, as she says, “leaving the world a better place than we found it, and along the way ensuring integrity and equality remain central to any business solution.” At Tesla, she pursued renewable generation and energy storage projects, focusing on deploying these technologies across the U.S. and Canada. She brings that same desire and expertise in sustainability to CPower, where she develops new distributed energy resources (DER) solutions for CPower customers and partners. “I chose to join the CPower team because of its unparalleled reputation for delivering demand-side management solutions,” Millie says, “and because I support the mission of better managing energy consumption for a healthier and more sustainable electric grid.” This Palmetto State native earned her B.A. from the University of Virginia, and her Master’s in Environmental Change and Management from the University of Oxford in the U.K. “Outside the office” to Millie means just that: She likes to spend her free time in the great outdoors, backpacking, biking, triathlon-ing, working on a local food/agriculture project, and kayaking near her home on D.C.’s Anacostia River. 

“Spend extra time preparing to save even more time later. [And] Also, always, always, always be helpful” That’s Erin Manisero’s professional belief when it comes to her profession and role here at CPower. Erin has more than 7 years of experience as a project manager working in the gas utility and energy management fields. Through her experience, she acknowledges that by understanding each customer’s unique needs and recognizing their individual working style, it has helped her shape the way she approaches each new project. Erin enjoys organizing and simplifying complicated processes and, although she knows it sounds boring to some, it’s satisfying to her to look at a process list and be confident that nothing will be missed or forgotten.

When she’s not working with our CPower customers, Erin spends most of her time chasing around her 3 year-old and 6 month-old daughters. She also recently picked up photography as a hobby and so far has enjoyed learning all about it.

Bill has seen a lot of change during his 33 plus years in the energy industry. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the joy he gets from helping customers. “I truly enjoy interacting with customers and taking them through the journey from a naive, skeptical prospect learning about demand response for the first time to a performing, compensated participant in the program later that same year. Presenting a check and expanding their participation in the program the next year, or registering them in additional programs, is always rewarding.” When he’s not helping customers master their energy use and spend, Bill enjoys spending his own energy running the trails of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

Corinne comes to CPower with a background in Demand Response from her time with Constellation Energy, and the more technical side of DR from her time with Mad Dash, CPower’s energy management technology partner.

After some time away from the energy arena to start a family, Corinne is back in an industry she’s grown to love. “The fact that I will always be learning, since the business is constantly changing, is exciting to me,” she says. “CPower encourages an atmosphere where solutions are proposed and discussions are had, work is a constant collaboration, and every day is different.” Corinne believes that “There is power in knowledge, and learning is an integral part of success. If I don’t know the answer, I will find it.”

Corinne has an arts degree and dance and is a classically trained dancer. She no longer performs but still teaches at a performing arts school in New Hampshire. (You can be sure she instills in her students her unwavering belief that “To be the best, you have to work the hardest.”) At home, Corinne manages a “family circus” that includes two young sons and three happy dogs. She enjoys family time, beach time, and of course teaching dance.

While new to the energy industry, Bridget comes to CPower with both sides of her brain well-developed, having spent nearly a decade in the education, medical, and art fields.

A former math and science teacher, Bridget was drawn to CPower’s mission and its team who, like her, are committed to leaving the world better than they found it.

She looks forward to bringing her creative problem solving to work every day in helping CPower’s customers optimize their energy use and spend while maximizing the potential of their distributed energy resources.

Bridget holds a BFA with a concentration in Art Therapy and a minor in Psychology from Endicott College in Massachusetts.

Lovers of the great outdoors, Bridget, her husband, daughter, and two rescue dogs are actively working on getting every stamp in her daughter’s national passport book.

Kam is first and foremost a forward thinker, something that fits nicely with the forward-thinking nature of his role with CPower. “This dynamic industry is ever-changing. Some of the projects we work on will be prominent energy solutions in the future,” he says. He appreciates CPower’s particular niche within the energy industry, which he considers completely unique from a business perspective. Asked to summarize what makes CPower great, he doesn’t hesitate. “We are the energy managers and consultants who add value to those thousands of customers who do not have an energy management team.” And speaking of teams, LSU alum Kam loves everything related to LSU football (Geaux Tigers!). Kam also loves to cook, and he attributes everything he has learned to his mother and her New Orleans style in the kitchen. When he is not working, Kam enjoys playing sports and spending time with family & friends.
