Utilligent Strengthens Smart Grid Capabilities Through Executive Hire

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., December 16, 2020 — Utilligent, a strategy, operations, and technology consulting firm advising some of the world’s largest utility companies to solve some of the industry’s toughest challenges, announced the hiring of Kevin Cornish as vice president, smart grid. Kevin will support the continued growth of digital strategy and technology solution services to improve a utility’s operational efficiency and facilitate a more sustainable, distributed, and multi-party distribution grid.

“I believe in the need for utilities to drive, not just participate, in the efficiency, sustainability, and overall decarbonization efforts underway in society,” said Cornish. “There is no industry better positioned to accomplish this goal properly than utilities, and there’s no better team to advance the needs of grid modernization than Utilligent.”

Cornish is a 35-year industry expert and has been involved with numerous advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) implementations, providing strategic advisory services by extracting value from AMI initiatives for electric, gas, and water utilities across North America. Cornish has also supported a range of operational technology projects including outage management systems (OMS), advanced distribution management systems (ADMS), geographic information systems (GIS), and distribution automation (DA).

He provides a balanced perspective based on his utility career, a decade with AMI solution providers, and his numerous client engagements to support utilities’ drive for improved efficiencies while delivering superior value and service to customers.

“Our company has built a great reputation of bringing the best people to the hardest problems our clients face, and the demand has increased in particular for ADMS,” said Utilligent co-founder and executive vice president, strategy and business transformation Meir Shargal. “Kevin’s deep expertise strengthens our company’s capabilities and reach in the marketplace.”
