FlexEnergy appoints three new board members

The new executives each bring more than 30 years of industry experience.

Irvine-based FlexEnergy has named three new members to its Board of Directors. The new board appointees include Chuck Packard of INGENCO; John Ryan, recently with Dresser Inc.; and Steve Krablin, formerly with T-3 Energy Services Inc. and National Oilwell Varco.

FlexEnergy, a renewable energy firm that produces both clean energy and renewable energy generators, creates its power through its two repurposing units, the Flex Turbine and the Flex Powerstation. Both use renewable “waste” fuels – in the form of methane gas produced by landfills, coal mines and digesters – to produce clean electricity.

"Our three newest board members are visionaries who have helped shape the energy industry," said Joe Perry, chief executive officer of FlexEnergy. "Each brings over thirty years of leadership experience, and their extensive knowledge of the industry will assist FlexEnergy to continue to grow and succeed as a company."

Among the new board appointees, Packard, president and CEO of INGENCO, has had a 25-year career as a leader in the cogeneration and independent power production field of the landfill-gas-to-energy marketplace. As such, his experience and expertise is particularly valuable to FlexEnergy, where he will help with installation-specific planning and the de-risking of new equipment.

In his previous role as president and CEO at Dresser Inc., Ryan led the company during a period of growth and oversaw its successful acquisition by General Electric. In his new position on FlexEnergy’s board, Ryan will help with the firm’s sales strategies and strategic planning.

Krablin, former CEO of T-3 Energy Services Inc., previously served as CFO of National Oilwell Varco for nine years. He will bring his financial experience to aid in making ongoing improvements to FlexEnergy’s financial accounting, controls and reporting processes.

The new board members join the seven sitting members on FlexEnergy’s Board of Directors, including the Honorable Stephen Johnson, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in directing the company’s goals and growth.

FlexEnergy has received a number of commissions for its Flex Powerstations and Flex Turbines in recent months. Three Flex Turbines are installed at a BP plant in Wamsutter, Wyoming; a Flex Powerstation will be built over the decommissioned Santiago Canyon landfill in Orange; and in December, the company fulfilled a commercial order for a Flex Turbine MT250 EX system for Gammel Engineering GmbH, a German engineering and power plant company. FlexEnergy also moved to a new headquarters building in Irvine in October.
