In the past 12 months, we have added experienced managers, developers, implementation engineers, and other seasoned professionals: this tripling of our staff ensures we will continue to provide world class support to our utility clients, who have committed to using our software for nearly 20 million electric, gas, and water meters.” All eMeter employees are exclusively focused on the software and services that drive utility automation and smart grid technologies.
“I am thrilled and honored to be joining eMeter,” said Ms. Rushing. “This firm has taken over two decades of industry learning and offers a software platform that enables utilities to get the most from any advanced metering infrastructure.” She added: “No other company has this level of innovation and experience in meter data management. eMeter delivers a platform for utilities that demand performance without compromise to meet their business objectives now and in the future.”
Ms. Rushing brings to eMeter an exceptional record of leading growing organizations and guiding new initiatives to maturity. Her successes have included guiding CellNet’s marketing and sales transition from start-up to the first industry-accepted network-based meter reading system. In the 1990’s, she launched PG&E’s award-winning Commercial Energy Efficiency Services Program and the utility’s Clean Air Vehicle Market Development, efforts that were instrumental in PG&E receiving the 1991 U.S. Presidential Award for Environmental Quality.
