CEO
Ray has been building companies, relationships, and brands in the energy solutions industry since 1989, leading three different energy solutions businesses to scaled growth and sustained success.
Decades of serving national markets as a service provider, an equipment manufacturer, and a utility consultant have created a national peer network and technical experience spans commercial lighting, HVAC optimization, building intelligence, transportation electrification, demand response, distributed energy resources, renewable power, software development, systems integration, and practical applications of grid intelligence.
This diverse business and technical experience – concentrated within the commercial and utility energy solutions industry – provide Mr. Pustinger with a unique ability to see the entire field as major elements of the energy solutions industry converge.
In 2002 Ray began working with the team that would become Ally Energy Solutions. This was the start of a successful collaboration that would develop tens of millions of square feet of industrial energy solutions projects for clients that Ally continues to serve today.
Over the course of his career Ray has been both hands-on and in leadership roles in operations, engineering, finance, business development, marketing, strategic planning, reseller channel management and corporate development.
He has served as regional Vice President of a national lighting service company, President & CEO of national manufacturer of energy efficient lighting, President of an HVAC optimization software company, and CEO of an energy engineering consultancy that serves utilities throughout the United States.
The common thread through these diverse experiences is consistent leadership of high-performance customer-centric teams, with a business culture focused on common goals, creative problem solving, accountability, and the power of alignment of interests.
A frequent speaker at industry events and occasional author of trade press, Ray currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Peak Load Management Alliance and the Illuminating Engineering Society Roadway Outdoor Lighting Controls Committee. His past board service includes the Sustain OC Board of Directors, the interNational Association of Lighting Management Companies Board of Directors as well as several commercial boards.
