I also enabled the deployment of utility scale solar and wind capacity through prior stints at GE Renewable Energy (now GE Vernova) and Tata Power. Now, as the Founding Head of GTM at Hammerhead, I’m tackling the power constraints related challenges for AI deployment. Look forward to connecting if you are building, partnering, or investing in the future of AI and power!
