Bennett brings 15 years of experience at the intersection of energy, mobility, and innovation spanning venture capital, startups, large corporations and consulting.

Bennett has also worked as a consultant at Rocky Mountain Institute, where he reported directly to Amory Lovins, and as a Director of Business Development at CPower, a demand response startup that was acquired by Constellation in 2010.

Bennett’s professional passions are sustainability, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and the challenges facing the global energy industry.
