Gaithersburg, MD, Jan. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink: XDSL) (“mPhase” or the “Company”), a technology company developing the mPower EV+ (electric vehicle) charging network and consumer engagement platform, is pleased to announce the appointment of energy industry veteran Isida Tushe as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. She brings extensive domestic and international experience gained supporting the legal and business activities of a diverse mix of energy-related companies.
Most recently, Isida was part of the leadership team and served as the General Counsel of FFP New Hydro LLC, a leading developer of low-impact hydroelectric energy generation and storage in the United States. She previously led numerous financing, acquisition and project development transactions as VP and Senior Counsel at Pine Gate Renewables, LLC, a leading renewable energy company focused on project development and strategic financing of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects in the U.S. Similarly, she simultaneously held the roles of VP Project Finance and Counsel at Fuel Cell Energy, Inc., a global leader in the design, manufacture, and operation of fuel cell technology. She also held similar roles at a private equity investment partner focused on traditional energy and worked with Celtic Bank’s renewable energy group. Isida has experience covering a wide range of business functions, including M&A, project finance and development, facility and real estate agreements, regulatory compliance, and other senior level functions.
“As we assessed the growing number of projects we have in store for 2022, adding in-house counsel became a real priority,” explained mPhase CEO Anshu Bhatnagar. “Isida has both legal and business experience at renewable and green energy companies, so she brings a wealth of knowledge from complementary industries to our goal of becoming a recognized leader in the EV charging space. Her extensive experience will help us considerably as we work to complete projects on a faster timeline.”
“I am excited to join mPhase and this incredible team right at the beginning of the company’s growth curve,” said new Chief Counsel Isida Tushe. “I have a real affinity for energy-related companies that are working toward greener solutions, so I was particularly drawn to the role that mPhase could play in helping achieve a more rapid adoption of EV. There is a great deal of crossover in the green energy fields in terms of legal and business requirements, so I look forward to applying my experience to the diverse set of projects in the mPhase pipeline.”
