This addition to the leadership team comes at a key juncture for the company as it makes the transition from early product development and customer validation to adoption and broader deployment of its energy management solutions.
“Now is the time to start to change the energy equation and show consumers what smart energy means for them. Greenbox has the right solution to unlock the true potential of the smart grid for utilities, consumers, and commercial product and service providers,” said Ivo Steklac. “I am thrilled to join this impressive and accomplished team and expand the Greenbox Interactive Energy Management Ecosystem.”
Greenbox is also partnering with the energy efficiency experts, demand response providers, AMI vendors, meter data management firms, device manufacturers, and system integrators.
Most recently Ivo served as global vice president for Elster Integrated Solutions where he led the global transition of the business to a smart grid solutions provider.
In 2003, Ivo founded Enspiria Solutions, Inc. Under Ivo’s leadership Enspiria’s AMI practice created business cases and solution implementation roadmaps for an excess of 40 million meters in North America and resulted in several successful rate filings.
While at Schlumberger, Ivo led the development of one of the earliest examples of consumer empowerment and energy management: Puget Sound Energy’s Personal Energy Management program. The program earned Puget the Edison Electric Institute’s Utility of the Year Award in 2001 and national recognition during the energy crisis of the same year. He holds an Engineering degree from Queen’s University at Kingston Ontario, Canada.
