FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
FIRSTELEMENT FUEL
WHY: Led FirstElement Fuel to become the largest hydrogen vehicle refueling company in the world. Aims to build a network of hydrogen-fuel stations throughout California and to convert more trucks to abundant, environmentally friendly hydrogen.
NOTABLE: The Port of Oakland station, the first commercial filling station for hydrogen-powered heavy trucks, has high capacity, letting it fill about 200 trucks a day in as little as 10 minutes per truck. Both Nikola and Hyundai trucks are using the station. Previously worked at General Motors, Porsche Cars North America and Hyundai Motors America.
