}}Peter L. Corsell (born December 5, 1977) is an American entrepreneur and investor. In 2003, Corsell founded GridPoint, and in 2015 Corsell cofounded Twenty First Century Utilities.[1] Corsell was recognized by MIT as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35 in 2008.[2]

Early life and education

Corsell was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Manhattan.[3] Corsell attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University where he earned a BSFS degree in 2000.[4][5]

In 1999, Corsell was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency, where he worked in the Cuba branch.[4][6] From early 2001 to late 2002, Corsell worked for the U.S. Department of State in Cuba,[5][7] where he served as Special Assistant to Ambassador Vicki J. Huddleston, the Principal Officer of the United States Interests Section in Havana.[8]

Career

GridPoint

At age 25, Corsell founded GridPoint to develop energy management and renewable energy technologies.[4][5][9][10][11]

He served as the company’s CEO from 2003 until 2010, when he unexpectedly resigned amid a management shakeup during the cleantech industry crash.[12] Corsell was succeeded as CEO by longtime Berkshire Hathaway executive Todd Raba, who previously ran the MidAmerican Energy Company.[13][14]

During his tenure at GridPoint, Corsell raised $250 million in venture capital[15][16] and was featured in several books including Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman, Perfect Power by Bob Galvin and Kurt Yeager, Earth: The Sequel by Fred Krupp, The Clean Tech Revolution by Ron Pernick and Clint Wilde, and The Plot to Save the Planet: How Visionary Entrepreneurs and Corporate Titans Are Creating Real Solutions to Global Warming by Brian Dumaine.[17][18][19][20]

The Stagwell Group

After leaving GridPoint, Corsell cofounded Hubub in 2011.[21] Hubub was a social community for internet users to explore and debate topics of interest. Users created multimedia channels containing articles, images and videos on specific topics.[22][23] In partnership with Bell Media, Canada’s largest multimedia company, Hubub developed a significant following in Canada, and was featured in a 2015 Super Bowl commercial.[24][25][26][27] In 2016, Hubub was acquired by The Stagwell Group, the digital marketing services conglomerate founded by Mark Penn and backed by Steve Ballmer, and the company was renamed Stagwell Technologies. Corsell is currently Senior Advisor to The Stagwell Group.[28][29]

Twenty First Century Utilities

In 2015, after a five-year absence from the energy industry, Corsell cofounded Twenty First Century Utilities, an investment firm seeking to acquire and modernize regulated electric utility companies.[30][31] In June 2016, Corsell and TFC Utilities cofounder Larry Kellerman appeared on the Charlie Rose show to discuss the ways in which TFC Utilities is contributing to the clean energy industry.[32]

In October 2015, TFC Utilities acquired GridPoint for $62.5 million, enabling Corsell to retake control of his first company.[1][33][34][35] In 2017 and 2018, TFC Utilities has been reported to be exploring electric utility acquisitions in Hawaii, South Carolina and Bermuda.[36][37][38][39][40][41]

Awards and affiliations

In 2008, MIT Technology Review recognized Corsell as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[2]

In 2008, Corsell was named Chairman of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Sustainable Energy.[42]

In 2009, Corsell was a founding member of the Electrification Coalition, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.[43][44]

In 2010, the World Economic Forum named Corsell a Young Global Leader.[51][45][46]

In 2015, the National Association of Corporate Directors included Corsell on its inaugural list of leading directors under 40.[47]

Corsell is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO).[48][49]

Corsell serves on the board of the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach, Florida.[50]
