Cisco DeVries

Cisco currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of OhmConnect. Cisco’s passion lies in solving big problems. He led policy changes that enabled infill housing, created a financial product that is helping democratize access to clean energy, put $2 billion of private capital to work on energy efficiency and rooftop solar, and now is leading the charge to create a dynamic electric grid that supports 100% clean energy. Prior to OhmConnect, he co-founded and led Renew Financial, served as Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Berkeley and was appointed by President Bill Clinton to serve in the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Energy. Cisco lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where he can often be found watching his kids play baseball. He once joked to a reporter that he was a capitalist hippie and will probably never live that down.
