Welcome Florian Kolb: New Expert in the Digital Utility Community - [an Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Expert Interview]
Originally posted here as a part of the ongoing Energy Central Power Perspectives written interview series I run, interviewing top utility industry experts for the Energy Central Community.
While the electric power grid was never by any means simple, the sheer scale of it, the necessity of the power it brings, and the new and innovative assets connected across it have only made it even more complex in recent years. Add to that the trend towards modernization and implementation of the smart grid, and the era of the digital utility truly is upon is.
Digitalization of the utility industry means bringing in more data to make fast and smart decisions, allowing for multi-way communication and control of grid assets, and even bringing new actors and stakeholders into the fold. The era of the digital utility is a transformative one, and at Energy Central we always want to make sure you’re in the know about these developments. That’s why we particularly prioritize the Energy Central Network of Experts in the Digital Utility Group. The more thought leaders and industry experts we bring into the fold, the more comprehensive and informative those discussions will be. Today I have the honor of welcoming into that network Florian Kolb. Florian is the Chief Commercial Officer and General Manager of Energy at Intertrust Technologies Corporation. Florian brings to this role years of deep knowledge and vast utility experience, and with his engagement I know the Digital Utility Group will only become more of a must-visit resource for professionals across the sector. To introduce himself to the group and showcase his background, Florian was kind enough to join me and participate in the Energy Central Power Perspective ‘Welcome New Expert Interview Series.’
Keep reading to see why you should be as excited as I am to have Florian join us!
