greenbird appoints Entrepreneur Bill Joss as Chairman
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, 5 July 2017. European Smart Meter software company greenbird Integration
Technology AS appoints Bill Joss as Chairman of the Board to support
international expansion.
greenbird is a profitable and rapidly growing software vendor and technology-
leader in IT integration in the Big Data, Smart City, Smart Grid space. Its
Software as a Service (SaaS) and Orchestration as a Service offerings
Metercloud.io and Ghostwriter enable utilities to quickly implement flexible IT
architectures for modern smart meter operations. After having raised venture
capital from Statkraft Ventures and ETF Partners last year, greenbird is
expanding internationally.
"We are excited to welcome Bill Joss as our new Chairman," commented Thorsten
Heller, CEO of Greenbird.
"Bill is an experienced international businessman and entrepreneur who has, over
a 35 year career in IT and Technology, established and grown leading technology
businesses including IDS Enterprise Systems, Callisto Integrated Systems and
Compel Group Plc. He is already adding a lot of value and is certainly a role
model for all of us."
In a career which started with Racal Communications and has included numerous
Private Equity backed Executive and Non-Executive roles, Bill has created a
reputation for rapid growth in multiple territories across the globe, working
both direct and through partner networks in several continents. Bill brings
specific leadership, strategic and 'go-to-market' skills and expertise and will
focus on supporting greenbird's international ambitions.
greenbird's software plays a crucial role in smart meter roll outs, since the
underlying software architectures are complex, yet they need to be integrated
quickly and remain flexible and ever-evolving. Metercloud.io solves this via an
'integration as a service' offering, which efficiently handles metering data and
provides connectors to all of the common smart meter software applications.
Summing up his enthusiasm for greenbird, Bill said "What really convinced me to
join greenbird is the strong suite of software products developed by an industry
leading team of Founders and a highly skilled, motivated employee group: they
have built a very unique product and gained a strong reputation within the
utility-sector for reliably delivering integration solutions."
"Bill is an exceptional entrepreneur and has an impressive track-record as a
Chairman. Building on his experience and network, we will grow greenbird even
faster," says Matthias Dill, Managing Director of Statkraft Ventures, who hands
over the Chairmanship and will continue to serve as a member of the Board.
