Chicago, IL — [February 23, 2026] — Joe Amara Executive Search is pleased to announce the successful placement of a Vice President of Project Development East for a leading utility-scale power generation and energy storage platform in the United States.
The newly appointed executive will oversee a multi-gigawatt, technology-agnostic development portfolio spanning SERC, MISO, PJM, NYISO, and ISO-NE, with responsibility across wind, solar, PVS, and standalone battery storage projects. The role is responsible for leading geographically distributed project development teams.
This placement supports the company’s continued growth through a combination of disciplined project development and strategic project acquisitions, as it advances late-stage development assets toward financing, notice to proceed, and construction across multiple power markets.
“Vice President level development leadership has become increasingly critical as portfolios scale in size, complexity, and capital intensity,” said Joe Amara, President of Joe Amara Executive Search. “This search required a leader with deep multi-ISO experience, strong execution discipline, and the ability to integrate teams, assets, and capital strategies across technologies. We’re proud to have supported our client on such a strategically important hire.”
Joe Amara Executive Search specializes in c-suite and senior leadership placements across power generation, energy storage, and digital infrastructure, working at the intersection of development, capital markets, and large-scale asset execution.
