George, Ph.D., Joins innogy consulting as U.S. Founding Partner
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.
