As Chief Product Officer, Will's focus will be on scaling the platform, advancing the technology that supports nZero's offering, and focusing on deeper platform customization capabilities to better fit the needs of multiple verticals. Longer term, he sees an opportunity to further productize carbon insights, recommendations, and scenario modeling to provide sophisticated tools for customers to reach net zero.

"I'm thrilled to be joining a company whose mission of protecting the planet deeply aligns with my own," said Gradin.

The team at nZero is developing a product essential to our future. There is endless opportunity to innovate in this industry and I look forward to working with the team to maximize the impact of nZero's products and services."
