About

I’m the CEO and founder of Forevolta, where I focus on bringing clarity to battery performance and energy-storage decisions. I’ve spent my career in the lithium-ion industry working on cell development, analytics, and practical engineering challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand how often teams struggle with limited or unreliable data. Forevolta was created to solve that problem. We build tools and analyses that help companies evaluate chemistries, compare suppliers, and understand the real behavior of their batteries in the field. My goal is to make high-quality battery intelligence accessible—not just to large manufacturers, but to any organization trying to innovate in EVs, ESS, or recycling. I’m always interested in connecting with people who are building, researching, or investing in the future of electrification.
