Former ENGIE NA CEO Joins Ford Energy
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Ford Motor Company today named Dave Carroll as president, Ford Energy, effective Aug. 31.
Carroll joins Ford from ENGIE North America, where Carroll served as chief executive officer and chief renewables officer.
Carroll previously held senior leadership roles at EDF Renewables and Avangrid Renewables.
Carroll’s appointment comes as Ford Energy works toward delivering battery energy storage solutions.
Carroll will oversee the full scope of Ford Energy’s end-to-end operations, including battery cell manufacturing, system assembly, commercial strategy, and sales. Carroll will report to John Lawler, Ford vice chair.
Carroll succeeds Lisa Drake, who will retire from the company at year-end after a 32-year Ford career spanning product development, powertrain engineering, purchasing, manufacturing operations, and the industrialization of Ford’s electric vehicle portfolio and battery business.
Drake will remain with the company through Dec. 31, "partnering with Carroll on a structured transition across Ford Energy’s manufacturing operations, customer commitments and supplier partnerships," Ford said
“Dave brings a rare, buy-side perspective on what utilities and other customers truly require as they build out power infrastructure -- exactly the skill set and insight Ford Energy needs as we move from launch to scale,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “Ford Energy combines world-class U.S. manufacturing, advanced battery technology and an American brand people trust. Under Dave’s leadership, we will scale this business into one of North America’s leading energy storage providers.”
