Convergent Energy and Power (Convergent), a leading provider of energy storage solutions in North America, has announced the appointment of Leandro Abreu as Chief Operating Officer, effective September 1.
“Leandro brings more than two decades of experience leading complex organizations, building high-performing teams, and delivering operational excellence across multiple industries, including in renewable energy and technology,” Convergent’s Co-Chief Executive Officer Frank Genova said. “We are confident that Leandro’s collaborative leadership style, combined with his strategic mindset and commitment to our mission, will make him a valuable addition to our leadership team as we work to continue building a more reliable, cost-effective grid.”
Prior to joining Convergent, Abreu served as the CEO of Prospera + Greener, where he led the strategic expansion and merger of Prospera with Greener, forming an ESG-driven energy platform aimed at reducing consumer carbon footprints through solar generation. Prior, Abreu served as Vice President for Digital Grid Solutions for Siemens, overseeing a high-impact regional portfolio with a focus on digitalization, automation, and modernization of energy infrastructure. Previously, Abreu also served as a General Manager for Enel X, where he led the rapid expansion of Enel X’s solar division, and as an Executive (Cloud & Technology Services) for IBM Brazil.
“Convergent Energy and Power is an exemplary leader in the energy storage sector, with nearly 15 years of experience financing, owning, and operating energy storage systems in North America,” Abreu said. “I’m excited to work with Convergent’s best-in-class team as we chart the company’s next chapter and expand its portfolio of increasingly essential energy storage assets.”
Abreu’s appointment follows the departure of Convergent’s outgoing Chief Operating Officer Don Jenkins, who relocated overseas.
“Don’s contributions to Convergent cannot be overstated,” Genova said. “He brought operational excellence to our organization, and we thank him for his strong leadership throughout his tenure. “We wish him well in his next chapter and are confident in Leandro’s ability to build on Don’s contributions.”
