Clean Urban Energy Recruits New President
CHICAGO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Clean
Urban Energy (CUE), an energy storage and smart grid technology
provider, today announced that Phil Bomrad joined the company as
President and COO. In his new role, Phil will focus on building out the
sales and marketing organization, expanding the sales channel, and
advancing the product roadmap.
Prior to joining CUE, Phil led Siemens Industry, Inc. Energy Services
group, successfully launching and building a multimillion dollar energy
services business that included energy monitoring, building
commissioning, demand response, procurement consulting, and energy
efficiency projects. At CUE, Phil will draw on his management and energy
expertise to further refine CUE's SaaS platform, an automated, scalable,
energy-optimization system that exploits the thermal mass of commercial
office buildings to optimize how a building uses energy.
"There is no doubt that there are significant grid constraints in
several markets globally and investments in the smart grid continue at a
record pace," said Bomrad. "I am excited to help lead the company toward
capitalizing on the unique value proposition the CUE platform brings to
both building owners and grid participants."
Prior to Siemens, Phil was an early executive at Tridium, where he held
key roles in strategic planning, marketing, and product management. He
was instrumental in the development and commercialization of Vykon
Energy, a software suite aimed at improving commercial building
performance. Under Bomrad's direction, Tridium established a robust
sales channel with global resellers.
"Phil brings a unique skill set to CUE, having spent many years of
service in building energy efficiency and software product development,"
said Rich Earley, Clean Urban Energy CEO. "I'm confident he will prove
to be a tremendous asset both to CUE and its channel partners and we're
excited to have him on board."
Bomrad's appointment comes on the heels of CUE's recent Series A
funding. Just last month, CUE announced that it had completed a $7M
round with Battery Ventures and Rho Ventures to accelerate growth
globally. The campaign will start off with a roadshow across several
major US cities including New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and San
Francisco.
About CUE
CUE is a technology provider that integrates grid operations with
buildings operations by leveraging the inherent thermal mass of a
buildings structure to store energy and strategically discharge the
energy at optimal times throughout the day. By modeling a building, the
CUE platform understands how a building will respond to weather
conditions and integrates energy market data to automatically optimize
when a facility uses energy. The benefit is a significant cost reduction
for building owners without compromising tenant comfort, and load
management platform for utilities and energy suppliers. Clean Urban
