Bio
Kevin Janus
I first met Fernando almost twenty years ago when he was pioneer in providing energy services to the retail industry. His innovative approach and customer centric culture he built was instrumental in our decision to contract for his services in various occasions. As the founder and CEO of Phoenix Energy Technologies, our organization did not hesitate to contract for the expansion of services to manage our energy strategy. He and the team he developed helped my organization build an extremely robust and effective program that paid for itself many times over. Since that time Fernando has worked with me on several projects as both a provider and peer and I have continued to be impressed with his knowledge, work ethic and results.

As a North American company, it is imperative to have an asset like Fernando to navigate both the language differences and business culture contrasts. dTechs will be starting market entry into the United States and we plan to utilize his utility knowledge and skills to assist us in all facets of our integration.
