Pearl Street Technologies Co-Founder and CEO David Bromberg

David Bromberg is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pearl Street Technologies. Pearl Street’s software helps transmission providers, renewable energy developers, and other stakeholders overcome the interconnection bottleneck at the heart of the clean energy transition. Emily spoke with David about his journey: from growing up in Brooklyn, New York, to his days as a self-described depressed PhD candidate, to the early career lessons that shaped his path. David wasn’t sure he had the right personality to be a CEO, but he stepped into the role anyway and co-founded Pearl Street Technologies. The company, recently acquired by energy data and analytics leader Enverus, has contracted over 400 gigawatts with ISOs, modeled more than 2,000 clean energy projects, and is now being used to model nearly 10 percent of the nation’s interconnection backlog — and counting.
