US-based energy storage company Navitas Systems has appointed Mil Ovan as the company’s new president.
Ovan was previously Navitas Systems’ chief marketing officer. Before joining three years ago, he was a principal of Nova Associates and senior vice president, as well as co-founder of battery developer Firefly Energy. In his new role as president of Navitas Systems, he will be responsible for overseeing all functional areas of the company.
“Mil’s leadership in the last eighteen months as chief marketing officer has continued to positively impact all areas of our products, business divisions, and served markets. So it was only natural to install Mil into this new role and to position our company for the next level of growth and profitability,” said chairman and founder Alan ElShafei.
“Over the next few months, we’re going to be unveiling a number of significant new products which will demonstrate our growth strategy of delivering the most innovative and robust energy storage and power electronics solutions in several high growth markets,” Ovan said.
Navitas also appointed David VanAssche as vice president of operations and strategic programs, located at Navitas Advanced Solutions Group in Ann Arbor, Michigan, US.
