For Peter, no two days at CPower are ever the same. The only thing he loves more than the pace and intensity of the CPower office is the team he experiences it with. “CPower is a dynamic company with a staff dedicated to ensuring our customers’ success. This dedication results in a workplace that embraces change while encouraging creative thinking and innovative problem solving” Though he’s too humble to admit it, Peter is among the most feared cornhole players at CPower. When he’s not working, Peter enjoys spending time with his family.

“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).

You don’t have to call her Doctor Bond, but Danielle does have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. She also has more than 10 years of engineering experience in the energy industry and a 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. She looks forward to bringing her always-be-learning attitude and her specialized skills to help CPower’s customers maximize the benefits of their energy efficiency and demand-side management projects.

Mark came to CPower via the EnergyConnect acquisition, where he held roles of increasing technical responsibility. He manages a team focused on the design, development and implementation of CPower App, the company’s industry leading software that includes systems integration with electricity markets for scheduling, event signaling and settlements, integration with customer building control systems, etc. Our customers continue to leverage his 15+ years of experience in systems development and energy management across a broad range of vertical markets and industries.

“Asking as many questions as it takes to garner understanding” is David’s professional philosophy. He continues “Never feel embarrassed for not grasping a concept immediately and give yourself patience as more will always be revealed”. This belief has guided this Towson University graduate throughout his career from finance to now dispatch operations here at CPower. As a Dispatch Operator at CPower, he joined our team when he saw an opportunity to expand his skills in a growing sector while still maintaining his commitment to his local community being based in the Baltimore office. The collaboration and support from his peers is “…a refreshing change from the typical corporate world”.

Ed’s bio coming soon.

As CPower’s Vice President of Finance, Yana is responsible for all aspects of CPower’s accounting, forecasting, and financial reporting functions. Yana joined CPower shortly after its formation in 2015 when the opportunity to build her own department from scratch came along. She loves that CPower is team-oriented, agile and that no two days are the same. Her business philosophy is one that’s at the core of CPower’s philosophy, too: “I believe ethics come first—you need to establish and keep the customer’s trust, and be proud of the person looking back at you in the mirror.” Prior to CPower, Yana worked as an audit manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers. She is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and holds an MBA with a focus in finance. She spends her downtime with her husband, daughter Anna, and Great Dane fur-child Zeus. You can also find Yana hiking the trails around Baltimore, her trusty Nikon at the ready to capture the great outdoors that she loves.

Megan’s professional philosophy is simple and to the point: “Be comfortable being uncomfortable.” She believes growth in all facets of our lives requires hard work which can be challenging on our bodies, minds, and/or time, but hitting that goal is worth the discomfort we experience during that time of growth. Megan Gerres is our Manager of Customer Systems, working closely with our teams and customers to ensure our customer experience is seamless and effective. She joins the CPower team after working in various industries such as utilities, FinTech, tokenization and digital security. What she loves most about CPower is our team. She sees that our leaders motivate their teams to find opportunities that cultivate a phenomenal customer experience which ultimately creates a collaborative team culture, constantly evolving to the next level. In her words “It’s super fun, fast-paced, and challenging all at the same time and everyone has a positive attitude!” 

When Megan isn’t working to improve the CPower customer experience, she enjoys spending time as a family with her three children. Her family is “outdoorsy”, so they enjoy hiking, bike rides, and being on the lake. Megan also loves to snowboard, play and coach softball, along with traveling to new places. 

Arusyak joined CPower at its very beginning, coming over from Constellation Energy, but is no stranger to the energy field. Over the past 14 years, she has worked at multiple companies and organizations, providing consulting expertise in the energy and environmental fields, with a focus on energy efficiency. Energy engineering is practically in her DNA. She has a BS in Economics and Management of Power Enterprises/Engineering from the State Engineering University of her native Armenia and followed it up with an MS in Sustainable Energy Engineering/Mechanical Engineering from KTH, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Sweden. “I love working with our great customers, who we have built and continue building great technical relationships with,” Arusyak says. She speaks three languages, including her native Armenian, and love traveling, concerts, opera, good food, and art museums. “It’s important to love what you do,” she says, “and to not stop learning.”

Darren understands the power that can be generated when small teams think big.

This former Founder and CEO of Princeton Power systems spent a decade and a half working with a tight band of thinkers who put their minds and tirelessly worked toward a strategic purpose of innovating and creating positive change for the environment and society.

John Board is a member of Andluca Technologies (PV-powered “smart” windows) and the Princeton Public Library Friends. He is also a “Non-Resident Fellow” at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and teaches a course called “Energy Innovation and Entrepreneurship”

He likes to play tennis and strum his guitar in his free time. But he has three young daughters, so there’s not exactly much extra time to work on his back end or his blues soloing.
