Neil Auerbach, founder and co-managing partner of Hudson Clean Energy Partners, Element’s principal investor, said: “We thank Pedro for his service to the company and wish him all the best in his next endeavour.

“Joe Slamm is one of the most experienced executives in the clean energy space, and I am delighted that Joe, Mike and Ty are assuming these crucial leadership roles.”
