For CPower’s upstate New York account executive, customer focus isn’t everything. It’s the only thing. “Being in sales is being in the relationship business,” David says. “It’s 100% of the equation.” For David, coming from the worlds of commercial lighting, IoT controls, and automation, the technological advances in battery storage and distributed generation — and the opportunity to monetize them — make the DR world an exciting place to be. “I love working with my existing customer base in the Hudson Valley region of NY state. This gives me a chance to deliver new services to customers both old and new,” he says. His professional pursuits include happy customers and lifelong learning. Before lending his talents to the energy industry, he devoted his energy to his talent for music, first with a Bachelor’s of Art in Music.

When he took the opportunity at CPower, he found an atmosphere that encouraged collaboration, teamwork, and cross-functionality, as well as something he didn’t expect to find: a management team that is accessible. He credits this combination of working attributes at CPower for the efficiency and excellence with which he and his team are able to accomplish their goals.

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.
