Utopus Insights Welcomes Kerrick Johnson as Chief Ecosystem Officer

Utopus Insights announced that Kerrick Johnson has joined the company’s executive leadership team as chief ecosystem officer.

Johnson joins Utopus Insights from Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), where he recently served as vice president of strategy and communication. He joined VELCO in 2006 after working for its largest distribution utility owner and serving a successful tenure as vice president for energy and environmental advocacy of the state’s manufacturer trade association. He is also a board member of the GridWise® Alliance, and is active in numerous other industry organizations.

“Although we greatly miss his enormous contribution to VELCO’s strategic and communications success, and his day-to-day presence as a colleague and friend, we are happy to see him bring his tremendous energy and talent to the important work of advancing energy analytics in a time of unprecedented grid transformation,” said Tom Dunn, president and chief executive officer of VELCO, and chairman of the board of Utopus Insights. “Given VELCO’s strategic relationship with Utopus Insights, we look forward to our continued working relationship with Kerrick and the ongoing value it promises to create for VELCO and Vermont.”
