innogy consulting Expands Energy Consulting Practice in U.S.

innogy consulting, a leading global energy-focused management consulting firm announced today the arrival of Dr. Glenn George, a prominent advisor to the global energy and utility sectors, as Founding Partner of its U.S. subsidiary. According to Dr. Klaus Grellman, Managing Director of innogy consulting, “The U.S. energy market is the largest and most dynamic in the world. Strengthening our presence in North America is central to innogy consulting’s strategy for future growth. Glenn’s joining the firm is an important milestone in strengthening our presence in the U.S.” Oliver Riedel, Managing Director of innogy consulting U.S., echoes this sentiment: “innogy consulting has helped catalyze, shape, and deliver the ongoing energy transformation across Europe and the Middle East. Glenn’s arrival will help cement the same kind of capabilities in the North American market.”

“I'm delighted to join innogy consulting as the first Founding Partner in the United States,” according to George. “It’s the culmination of three decades of work in the global energy sector, some two-thirds of which I've spent as a consultant to the industry, across the entire value chain. My professional focus in recent years has been on helping utility companies transform themselves into greener, more customer-focused, and technology-enabled organizations—providing the strategic, transactional, regulatory, dispute-related, and operational support they need along the way. innogy consulting is the ideal platform for delivering this kind of work.” Among other roles, he has served as a Managing Director with NERA Economic Consulting, part of the Oliver Wyman Group; a partner in the advisory practice of KPMG; and co-head of the global energy group at Nomura Securities, at the time the largest investment bank in the world, with responsibility for a variety of energy transactions. Glenn will be based in innogy consulting’s Boston office, providing regular support to clients in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and elsewhere. Glenn holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Cornell University and a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the District of Columbia.

innogy consulting first entered the U.S. market in late 2017. The company is bringing its expertise and experience learned in Europe to U.S. utilities needing to innovate and adapt in the changing energy landscape. George’s addition represents a major milestone in U.S. growth. innogy consulting’s portfolio comprises large-scale strategy assignments for grid and infrastructure, retail, and renewable clients across borders, including managing the 2^nd largest IPO in Germany’s history.
