Paul Coombs has been named CEO of Nomad Transportable Power Systems, bringing the accomplished executive leader to the mobile energy solution provider from KORE Power, where he led efforts to bring in millions in private capital to support domestic lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing.
“Nomad is entering a period of significant growth and is expanding beyond its founding as a partnership between KORE Power and the former Northern Reliability,” said Nomad chairman Jay Bellows. “We needed a leader with a track record of successfully growing companies and navigating the demands of supply chain challenges, workforce development and raising capital.”
Coombs, who was a co-founder of KORE Power, came to the energy storage industry after decades of leading growth, securing capital and managing mergers and acquisitions for projects across the globe. At KORE Power, he led the acquisition of Northern Reliability, which was relaunched as KORE Solutions, and guided the site selection process that resulted in the KOREPlex manufacturing facility project landing in Arizona.
Nomad is a first mover in the utility, commercial and industrial-scale mobile energy storage sector and was founded to meet demands for a more flexible, transportable battery energy storage system.
