New York, NY – August 1, 2016 – EnergyHub, the leading provider of connected device management solutions for utilities, today announced the appointment of Chris Ashley as Vice President of Utility Sales. Ashley will lead EnergyHub’s utility sales team, bringing the company’s innovative demand response and distributed energy products and services to a broader number of utility customers.

“Chris’s track record of success in demand response and utility software makes him the right person to lead EnergyHub’s sales team and expand our position as the leading demand response provider for connected devices,” said Seth Frader-Thompson, President and Co-Founder of EnergyHub.
