SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levo Mobility
LLC (Levo), a joint venture of Nuvve Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: NVVE)
(Nuvve), affiliates of Stonepeak Partners LP (Stonepeak), and
Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP (NYSE: SNMP) (Evolve) that
provides Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) solutions enabling fleets to
switch to electric vehicles (EVs) rapidly, today announced that it
has added Maggie Clancy, Chief
Commercial Officer, and Walter
Watson, Chief Operating Officer, to its senior leadership
team.
Both individuals join Levo from National Express LLC, a premier
North American firm that operates more than 26,000 vehicles to
support paratransit, fixed route, shuttle, and school bus passenger
needs. Currently, National Express is the second largest school bus
transportation provider in North
America, with more than 22,500 school buses serving more
than 550 school districts in 34 states and three provinces. These
key hires will guide the joint venture's strategic direction and
go-to-market efforts as it continues to pursue fleet
electrification opportunities across the US.
- Maggie Clancy, Chief
Commercial Officer: Maggie will lead all aspects of the joint
venture's customer acquisition efforts, driving relationships with
school districts and other key decision makers related to fleet
electrification. Before Levo, Maggie spent 23 years in executive
leadership focusing on marketing, brand, and strategy. She
previously oversaw the commercial EV strategy for National Express,
the second largest private owner of school buses in North America. Prior to National Express,
Maggie was the SVP of Global Marketing Operations for Publicis
Group, at Leo Burnett and Starcom. Maggie holds a BA from
Northern Illinois University and an MBA
from Loyola University–Chicago.
- Walter Watson, Chief
Operating Officer: Walter will oversee all operations for Levo,
ensuring a smooth and effective process for customers to expedite
fleet electrification and support decarbonization initiatives.
Walter has spent 15 years in senior and executive positions in
finance, maintenance, operations, commercial, and procurement at
both a FTSE 250 and a Fortune 200 company. He previously served as
Vice President of Procurement for National Express, overseeing all
spend and planning in North
America. Prior to National Express, Walter spent nearly a
decade with a Class I railroad where he oversaw a Mexico start-up, was responsible for the
commercial management of a 100k+ unit intermodal fleet business
unit, and held senior leadership roles in operations around the
country. Walter holds a BS in Finance from the University of Nebraska and is enrolled for an MBA
at Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern
University). He is Lean-TPMS certified through Toyota and
the University of Kentucky.
"We are thrilled to welcome Maggie and Walter to Levo – their
collective experience and relationships bring valuable skillsets to
Levo in its mission of electrifying transportation and leveraging
vehicle-to-grid solutions," said Gregory Poilasne, chairman and CEO
of Nuvve. "The team at Levo will provide turnkey solutions that
include full financing support for fleets transitioning to electric
vehicles and build on Nuvve's existing intelligent energy platform
that currently serves more than 80 customers across 11 countries,
including 13 U.S. states."
"As a parent, transportation professional, and someone that
cares deeply about our environment, I believe transitioning fleets
to electric is perhaps one of the most important and most
achievable opportunities to reduce our global carbon emissions for
future generations," said Clancy. "I am thrilled to be part of the
Levo team and look forward to partnering with local leaders who
desire safer and cleaner transportation for their communities."
"Through Levo and our partnership with Nuvve, Stonepeak is
pleased to advance the electrification of transportation, which
offers a meaningful immediate opportunity to combat climate change
given transportation emissions represent close to 30% of total U.S.
greenhouse emissions today," said Stonepeak Managing Director,
Trent Kososki. "Maggie and Walter
bring critical relevant experience to their roles at Levo, which
should offer peace-of-mind to customers as they switch to
zero-emission, electric vehicles."
These hires follow the recent announcements of partnerships
between Levo and several organizations similarly focused on
electrification and net zero goals including:
- Levo's LOI to collaborate with Ecolution Power Company, a clean
energy technology company, to supply St.
Paul and the Twin Cities
area with electric vehicles and charging stations;
- Levo's collaboration with BYD, a leading electric vehicle
producer, to jointly deploy up to 5,000 battery electric vehicles
over the next five years; and
- Levo and Nuvve's collaboration with Bluebird to make
electric school buses more affordable
