Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie and CCO James Bolen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news about the major moves the company has made as it starts to approach commercialization.

Currie telling Proactive the company added Dan Coker, an experienced auto executive, to the team. Coker has worked for automotive accessory companies that have been valued at over a billion dollars, and brings a network that is attractive to a company like Hillcrest. His connections have also led to the company engaging Craig-Hallum, a Minnesota-based investment bank, which has done business with Coker in the past.

Bolen told Proactive more about the customer work with its zero voltage switching platform, which is agnostic to the end use and is being used in EVs and grid renewables. The company is engaged with a number of potential clients and looking to work with them to help move the technology forward.
