Previously CEO of AutoGrid, Llanes delivered growth, introduced improved processes and methods, and launched new solutions, including turnkey VPPs.

"Ruben Llanes is an exceptional choice as the new CEO of Digital Grid, particularly during this pivotal moment in the energy industry's evolution," said Nadege Petit, Chief Innovation Officer of Schneider Electric. "As the world shifts from the traditional grid to a modern grid, embracing new technologies becomes imperative. Digital Grid's commitment to prioritizing customer needs aligns with Llanes' vision to support utilities in enhancing operational efficiency, delivering superior service, and tackling challenges such as power disruptions. Together, we aim to optimize resources, minimize ecological footprints, and maximize grid capacity and adaptability, ensuring a seamless transition towards a modernized grid system."
"I'm looking forward to continuing this important work with this immensely talented team while we evolve our business, grow our ecosystem, and deliver innovative solutions that serve the entire energy value chain," stated Llanes.
Llanes has held previous roles at Schneider Electric, including Vice President, National Sales Force, and Vice President, Channel Business Development & Strategy. In both roles, he successfully enabled strategic transformation and business growth.
