Cisco DeVries: OhmConnect

Cisco DeVries is all about energy. Before jolting OhmConnect to new heights as CEO, Cisco designed a clean energy product called Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) and later launched Renew Financial, a startup based on the PACE product. With natural disasters and grid problems on the rise, there’s no one better to explain what it all means and how companies are building a more resilient, eco-friendly grid for all.


Cisco brings over 20 years of energy industry experience to the table. Join the conversation now: from in-depth breakdowns of the electrical grid to Cisco’s optimistic energy, it’s worth the listen!
