Leadership Team

A co-founder of TERIC, Kevin is a leader who provides clear direction for TERIC, charting the course of the organization, while helping the team to deliver incredible projects and innovation.

Kevin’s style of leadership is built around empowering the right people to deliver the best possible product. Kevin uses both instinct and experience to balance his time between the active projects of today, and the promising future on the horizon.

I like building things, and great things come from great people. When we started TERIC, I didn’t want it to be a flash in the pan. I knew the trajectory for this business would require the team to roll up its sleeves and get to work. That starts with me.

An experienced generalist, Kevin can comfortably speak to a wide variety of subjects relative to the core competencies of TERIC. This enables him to bring together groups from varying disciplines and get them working as a high-performance team.

His previous experience saw him spend time in operations, projects, and construction. A Professional Engineer by training, diverse experiences have helped him grow as an individual and exposed him to what it takes to be a leader.

Kevin has seen the pros and cons of both big companies and agile start-ups, which he sees as a gift that has provided great benefit throughout his career.

TERIC is Kevin’s most proud professional achievement. It has been an exciting and rewarding journey entailing several strategic pivots which have demanded all the knowledge and experience he has built over his lifetime.

The TERIC company values which most embody Kevin are “creativity” and “integrity”. Where being creative is at the core of everything TERIC does, Kevin also ensures this is accomplished through great integrity, which he feels is the foundation of solid long term relationships.

A co-founder of TERIC, Craig is able to offer a different lens of thought-leadership which enhances TERIC’s approach to problem solving. As a company which designs, builds, and operates highly technical systems, Craig has the distinction of being one of the few team-members who is not an engineer.

The multidisciplinary experience he brings to his work has empowered TERIC to find new monetization opportunities, strong project management methodologies, and helped to create powerful relationships with clients.

In a young and dynamic venture like TERIC, Craig has ‘stepped-up’ into many roles which require his creativity, calm temperament, and passion to see the company innovate and grow.

“What we do, in essence, is a very binary application. Where my colleagues live in a very quantitative world, I serve many of the qualitative aspects of what TERIC needs in both our projects and day to day operations.”

While Craig doesn’t strictly identify as a ‘serial entrepreneur’ – he has been involved in numerous startups around the world over his career. His experience and strong work-ethic with projects in locations including South Africa and the Caribbean helped him land strong roles in the Canadian energy sector, where he ultimately met those who’d become his co-founders at TERIC Power.

Starting TERIC gave Craig and the growing team a way to think and work very freely in creating real applications for energy storage technology and renewables.

The TERIC company value Craig most resonates with is “nimble”; the ability to adapt to any situation, any need, or overcome any problem. This value has helped both Craig and TERIC act decisively on numerous occasions.

Craig’s most proud career achievement was one of TERIC’s first projects: Designing, building, and operating the largest battery storage portfolio in Canada.

Diverse-experience is an understatement when exploring what Shawn brings to his role at TERIC. From the public to private sector he has held a diverse number of leadership titles in numerous industries around the world.

Within his role at TERIC, Shawn uses those experiences to help steward the leadership team to where it needs to be. He is a compass helping TERIC to navigate uncharted waters where his experienced judgement and creative thinking add stability and perspective to the teams decision making.

Every great leadership team needs a storyteller. Someone who can pull from an expanse of past knowledge to help navigate the challenges the market presents in the here and now. Shawn always has a story to pull from to provide guidance and direction without letting those challenges cloud the judgement needed to make informed decisions.

A lifetime of experience has empowered Shawn with a unique and powerful framework for his creative leadership style. That approach is simply stated but deeply complex: Blocking, Bending, and Blending. These three processes form the foundation of how Shawn approaches the stream of challenges the energy storage and renewables industry presents.

Creativity is not limited to art.

Shawn started his career in junior oil and gas, a part of a small team churning through projects and experiencing the cycle of success and failure in rapid progression. Building upon those early lessons he has worked on multiple continents within multiple industries. One of his proudest achievements was a 5km deep gas well in Alberta with 37 billion cubic feet of gas which required 13 different transactions to put together.

The TERIC company values Shawn is most drawn to are “nimble” and “creative”, but there is a third value which Shawn embodies for TERIC: “Focused”. Shawn helps bring focus to the team, keeping their efforts on track at a time in TERIC’s growth where there is no shortage of distraction.

The TERIC team could not imagine a better Board Member to advise it than Ross. He is a “maverick” in the renewables space from a time when the words “renewable power” involved more than a few quizzical looks due to the abundance of gas and other non-renewable energy sources.

In addition to his considerable years of experience in the space, Ross brings TERIC fresh and innovative perspectives to the projects at hand (and to come in the future). His credibility is hard earned and beyond reproach. The wisdom and experience he brings to his advisory role is invaluable to TERIC’s organizational goals.

I enjoy lending experience and insight towards new services and the opportunities they present.

An electrical engineer with a diverse background in Oil & Gas, Ross co-founded Canadian Hydro in 1989 which at the time of its sale was Canada’s largest and most successful pure-play renewable energy developer. Ross received lifetime achievement awards from the Independent Power Producers Society of British Columbia and the Association of Power Producers of Ontario. In 2012, Ross was named to Canada’s 2012 Clean50 as an outstanding contributor to clean capitalism.

Ross has always been willing to take the right risks and find innovative approaches to development. He is most proud of creating a successful business in renewable power generation before the industry even existed. He is a “pioneer” in every sense of the word.

The TERIC company values which Ross most deeply connects with are to be nimble and creative. Big or small a company that is nimble can make quick and strategic decisions and stay competitive. Creativity helps you in every avenue of business – from keeping costs down, to approaching the challenges of powering our world in new and innovative ways.
