Renewables tech specialist ONYX Insight has appointed Schneider Electric veteran Alexis Grenon as its new CEO.
Grenon spent almost 20 years at the Paris-based manufacturing giant, most recently as CEO of its Digital Grid division.
He has also held senior roles in energy efficiency software and services and began his career as a software engineer at fellow French tech titan Thales Air Systems.
He will now lead the Macquarie Capital-backed business, which provides condition-based monitoring solutions (CMS) for the global wind industry, helping operators predict faults and cut downtime using predictive analytics and sensor technology.
Its tools are used on 28,000 turbines across 35 countries, protecting more than $12bn of assets.
Grenon’s appointment comes weeks after the Nottingham-headquartered company acquired condition monitoring and advanced analytics specialist ELEVEN-I.
Having been acquired by Macquarie in 2024, the EnviroTech has said that it will continue to expand its tech offering with new features including blade sensing, designed to prevent catastrophic failures and improve efficiency.
“ONYX Insight’s CMS suite has grown to be a top choice for wind turbine operators, owners and manufacturers to anticipate operational issues and reduce downtime through the use of predictive analytics and industry leading sensing technology,” said Grenon.
“I am honored to be leading the company into its next stage of growth.”
John Spirtos, senior managing director at Macquarie Capital, added: “Alexis Grenon’s engineering leadership, deep knowledge of energy management systems and experience innovating state-of-the-art energy-focused digital solutions will be an invaluable asset to ONYX’s growing customer base.”
