Dan was hired by Leviton in 2008, a large US based electrical device’s manufacturer, to formulate and lead an initial EV charging program for commercial and residential sectors (including branding and launching into the channels). It was suggested the program would show modest results over six months, then perhaps even dissipate. But as a motor-car enthusiast with a keen sense of mechanization and an accomplished electrician he wasn’t so sure of that. 

As it turned out, Dan’s instincts proved to be correct - he spent the ensuing six years at Leviton fixated on the EV charging space. Dan developed a unique perspective of the market and foresaw that specialized ‘managed services’ would be required to manage this technology and its evolution. The infrastructure component presented a strategic opportunity, alongside the software which controls it, to maintain a reliable level of service post-installation/quality control.

EV charging is changing the way the world thinks about consuming power and Dan’s vision is about the evolution of EV charging solutions, and how to better manage energy, as more and more EV’s plug-in.

In 2015 Dan founded Electrum with the mission to contribute to becoming a carbon neutral planet by providing ‘solutions’ that close the gap among: EV charging, grid management, user experience and cost-recovery/profitability objectives. Electrum has since experienced rapid growth as it continues its innovative solutions deployment.
