BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uplight, the technology partner of energy providers transitioning to the clean energy ecosystem, today announced the appointment of Luis D'Acosta as CEO.
D'Acosta joins the company from Schneider Electric, where he was global head of the Digital Energy business, working to accelerate the digitization of power networks by building and implementing new technology solutions.
A recognized leader across the energy ecosystem, D'Acosta brings vast global experience running software businesses, scaling startups, and leading growth and customer engagement initiatives. He has worked on all sides of the utility industry and brings deep technical expertise, high-level relationships, and a proven track record in scaling multi-billion-dollar software companies in the energy space.
"As decarbonization efforts continue to accelerate and energy companies look to deliver new solutions to their customers that provide efficient, affordable, and sustainable energy, Uplight is positioned to be the go-to provider of these innovative solutions," said D'Acosta.
