Powering Industry with Renewable Energy. We're Hiring!

I have a great piece of news to share with you. Eric Trusiewicz has stepped up to lead Rondo Energy as CEO and I am taking up the role of Chief Innovation Officer. This is a moment we’ve been working towards for years.  Eric has been an important part of the Rondo team since early on, starting as a strategic advisor in early 2021 when we were still in a garage, and stepping up as our President in 2023. Today he’s taking on the role of CEO, and I couldn’t be more proud. On four continents we’re now contracting, engineering, and building heat battery projects that create value for ourselves, our customers, and our partners.  Eric’s experience has been hugely valuable as we now build the worldwide organization and continue to raise capital to deliver these projects and set the foundation for our next stage of growth. We’ve spent the last year working on and planning for this transition, and it’s already going great. I have deep confidence that Eric will make Rondo the #1 trusted supplier worldwide of low-cost, zero-carbon process energy. I’m looking forward to continuing to work together with him and the rest of the leadership team to build an amazing company. Rondo has opened the path to supply the energy used for the world’s manufacturing using intermittent electricity.  We created the definitive Heat Battery.   Our physics breakthrough let us build the world’s safest, highest temperature, most efficient energy storage of any kind, using cheap, widely available, safest material for energy storage: brick.  We eliminated electrochemistry, we eliminated critical minerals, and we completely eliminated risks of fire, gas release, or toxics.  I’m now taking up the role of Chief Innovation Officer, and will be working with strategic partners on new uses of Rondo’s technology platform.  Rondo today has investment partnerships with some of the world’s largest miners, data center operators, renewables developers, and producers of fuels, chemicals, building materials, food, beverages, and clothing.  I’m thrilled to be working with these partners to find the ways we can make the biggest contributions in their businesses. And I’m excited to identify and work with new partners as we learn how to extend our reach. Rondo can cut world CO2 emissions by fifteen percent in fifteen years while cutting the costs of producing everything from baby food to cement.  We face one of the great business opportunities of our time, tackling one of the greatest challenges of all time. I look forward to continuing to work with Eric, the whole Rondo team, and with you on this journey.
