NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Energybox is pleased to announce the appointment of our new Board Member, Karl Meyer. His deep expertise in driving revenue at high-growth companies brings a wealth of experience that will position Energybox well to reach new heights. Specifically, Karl has an exceptional operational background that will drive Energybox's expansion at its current Global 2,000 customers as well as land new enterprise customers. The management team and board are very excited and are looking forward to working with Karl on delivering Energybox's vision.
Karl is the Managing Director and Head of Global Portfolio Operations at Digital Alpha, a leading investment firm focused on digital infrastructure. The three investment focus areas for Digital Alpha include Next Generation Networks, Cloud, and IoT / Smart Cities. Digital Alpha invested in Energybox because of its holistic energy management solution that includes fully integrated IoT hardware, sensors, and cloud-based analytics software that reduces energy units for a wide range of customers. Some of the core use cases are targeted at multi-site retail chains that tend to consume large amounts of energy.
"In our quest to become the market leader for IoT monitoring and automation solutions for multi-site enterprises, we are very excited to welcome Karl Meyer to our Board of Directors," said Nicolai Wiest, CEO of Energybox. "With the latest trends and needs towards solving environmental as well as operational and labor issues, the opportunities for automation and sustainability are huge. We are looking forward to working closely with Karl, building strategic partnerships, expanding our business in key industry verticals and continuing to provide exceptional value and benefits to our customers."
"I'm thrilled to be a member of Energybox's board and to be working with a highly experienced management team," said Karl Meyer, Managing Director at Digital Alpha. "I love Energybox's story because the simplest way to reduce cost and carbon footprint is through reduced energy usage. Energybox's solution makes a typical 10%-20% energy usage reduction painless for the customer. In addition, with Energybox's analytics and automation capabilities, the company is constantly finding opportunities for additional energy savings and the market is noticing. I'm pleased to be joining the company at this inflection point in the market, where measuring energy efficiency is vital for businesses embracing ESG (environmental, social, governance) principles worldwide."
