AiDash, an enterprise SaaS company providing satellite-first AI applications for remote inspection and monitoring of critical infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Neil Chatterjee, former Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), to its advisory board. Chatterjee brings more than 20 years of experience in energy policy work to AiDash. In a video announcement, Chatterjee emphasized the importance of leveraging technology like AiDash’s satellite and AI solutions to address challenges such as grid capacity, extreme weather, and the energy transition. His distinguished career in government and regulation enables him to provide strategic guidance on how AiDash can best assist regulators and utility companies in adopting technology that furthers the goal of providing safe, reliable power in the face of increasing climate risks.
“In our persistent communications with leading climate and energy experts, Neil’s name came up time and again as someone we must get to know,” said Abhishek Singh, co-founder, and CEO of AiDash. “From the first meeting with Neil, I was struck by our alignment on the importance of technology to solve the biggest energy challenges to regulators and utilities, as well as the desire to collaborate with all stakeholders for grid reliability and resilience. Having Neil join our advisory board is a fantastic step forward.”
AiDash’s advisory board adds unparalleled industry knowledge and direct experience to the company’s staff to help identify market challenges and solutions, influence product development, shape go-to-market plans, advise on the company’s strategic direction, and tap into new connections for partnerships and collaboration. The advisory board continues to grow as AiDash’s opportunities expand and evolve.
“A substantial increase in extreme weather incidents, like storms and wildfires, coupled with grid capacity issues, translate to a pressing need for innovative – and often collaborative – solutions,” said Mr. Chatterjee. “I believe AiDash is key to the future by making critical infrastructure industries climate-resilient, adaptable, and sustainable through satellites and AI. As an advisor, I am excited to bring regulators and utilities together to support an energy transition and help all stakeholders understand how we can take a more data-driven approach to improving our nation’s critical infrastructure.”
Mr. Chatterjee is an ideal addition to AiDash’s advisory board which is complemented by a team of in-house evangelists with deep industry and domain expertise. Evangelists include certified arborists with expertise in vegetation management, wildfire, and storm risk mitigation, plus specialists in grid resiliency, pipeline integrity, and sustainability.
