For the past five years, the GridSecurity team has successfully served over 300 generators and control centers with a variety of services ranging from network architecture advisory services to ongoing network operations and managed security services. The GridSecurity spin-off will continue to solidify its position as an industry leader and will strategically scale to deliver innovative and value-added services for the power industry in the decades to come. Matt Barnes, GridSME’s COO/CFO, comments, “At this stage in its life-cycle, the GridSecurity business requires a different strategy than the rest of GridSME and this decision allows GridSecurity to best serve its clients by accelerating investments in new people, processes, and technology.”
In response to this business opportunity, GridSME’s CEO, John Franzino, is transitioning from his role at GridSME to his new role as GridSecurity’s CEO. Since its inception in 2017, John has been a driving force behind bringing GridSecurity services to GridSME’s portfolio of solutions. Recently, Mr. Franzino stated, “The spin-off is a testament to the GridSecurity team, who has worked tirelessly for the last five years to turn an idea into an essential service and value-added business. As we move into the next phase of the renewable energy future, we are eager and excited to scale alongside our existing and future clients. Collectively, there is a lot of work to be done and we’re here to help deliver network operations and managed security services, which play a critical role in efficiently scaling the industry.”
