February 27 2024 - 7:30AM
Driivz, a Vontier (NYSE: VNT) company and part of its EVolve
e-mobility portfolio, a leading provider of end-to-end smart EV
charging and energy management software, today announced the
appointment of Blake Jessen as its new Vice President of North
America. Jessen has over 18 years of experience in the distributed
energy, clean-tech and electrification sectors, bringing a wealth
of expertise and leadership to Driivz.
Aligned with Driivz’s mission to accelerate the EV industry's
dynamic and continuous transformation, Jessen’s deep market
knowledge and value-add approach position him to drive innovation
and solidify Driivz’s presence in North America’s expanding
electrification landscape.
"North America is at an inflection point in our journey to
electrification," said Jessen. "Over the next three years, I
believe we will continue to see a rapid influx of new entrants, as
well as the consolidation of existing players. A focus on open
standards, interoperability and investment in scalable solutions
that deliver superior uptime and user experience will be key to a
successful, long-term strategy."
Jessen also emphasized the importance of learning from countries
further along the EV adoption curve. "As we catch up to other
nations, we can anticipate challenges deploying infrastructure and
managing power grid limitations. This underscores the increasing
need for distributed energy resources and smart technologies that
can optimize within these physical constraints."
Before joining Driivz, Jessen served on the leadership team at
Enel X Way eMobility for almost five years. During his time at Enel
X Way eMobility, Jessen was responsible for doubling revenue growth
year-over-year, forming partnerships with major CPOs, auto OEMs,
fleet and retail customers and industry solution providers.
"We are thrilled to welcome Blake to the Driivz executive team.
His deep understanding of the EV Charging industry and passion for
sustainable mobility will be invaluable as we continue to expand
our presence in North America and enable the success of leading EV
charging networks in the U.S.,” said Andrew Bennett, CEO of
Evolve.
