From the Indispensable: “I’m driven by the opportunity to build a business that proves environmental impact and profitability can go hand in hand. At EVgo, I focus on scaling fleet utilization to accelerate EV adoption where it matters most, supporting hardworking, often low-income drivers who rely on our network every day. What energizes me is the pace of an industry evolving in real time, where new challenges and opportunities emerge daily, and where I can help shape a future that advances both economic opportunity and sustainable transportation.”
