Michael SALOMON, Ph.D.
CEO

Michael obtained his Engineer’s degree at Mines ParisTech (France) and his Ph.D. at Stanford (USA). As an academic in Silicon Valley, he witnessed the boom of cleantech venture capital and entrepreneurship and went on to become a management consultant at McKinsey & Company in Paris. In 2009, he founded Clean Horizon, a consultancy entirely devoted to energy storage. Since its creation, Clean Horizon has confirmed its status as the only boutique consultancy in the world specialized solely on energy storage and acting both as market analyst and a technical consultant. As of 2018, Clean Horizon serves the US, Canadian, Caribbean and Latin American markets from its new Miami office. With offices in Paris, France and Miami, Florida Michael continues to successfully advance and contribute in the world of energy storage and its realization. Michael speaks French, English and Spanish.

Samuel PORTEBOS,MS.c.
Head of Engineering

Samuel graduated with a Engineer’s degree at Ecole Centrale de Lille (France) and in electrical engineering at Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Samuel brings extensive analytical knowledge to Clean Horizon, with previous experience including the modelling of a Brazilian distribution grid and the realization of a PV plus storage system implemented on a vehicle. At Clean Horizon, Samuel leads the technical activities of the company. He specializes in the sizing and design of large-scale energy storage systems, and has worked for multiple Independent Power Producers and utilities, worldwide. Samuel speaks French, English, and Portuguese.

Corentin BASCHET, MS.c.
Head of Market Analysis

Corentin graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering at Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris (France) with an additional master in sustainable energies at the Imperial College in London (United Kingdom). He previously worked in anaerobic submarine energy propulsion systems (at Naval Group) and racing yacht electricity systems combining hydrogen and battery solutions (at Phil Sharp Racing in the U.K.). At Clean Horizon, he is responsible for market analysis activities and supports the company’s commercial development, worldwide. Corentin speaks French, English and German.

Naïm El CHAMI, MS.c.
Analyst

Naim completed two Engineer’s degrees at Centrale Supélec (France) and Saint Joseph’s University (Lebanon). He obtained his Economics and Management of Network Industries Master’s degree from the Université Paris-Dauphine (France). Prior to joining Clean Horizon, he completed multiple techno-economic studies regarding behind-the-meter energy storage solutions and vehicle-to-grid systems in the American and French electricity markets. He currently works at Clean Horizon as an analyst. Naïm speaks English, French and Arabic.

Serge Kréhi AGBLI, Ph.D.
Power Systems Expert

Kréhi Serge received his Master’s degree in electrical and electronic systems from Félix Houphouët-Boigny University (Cote d’Ivoire) and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté in Belfort (France). As a postdoctoral researcher for FEMTO-ST laboratory at the Fuel Cell Lab in Belfort (France), he was involved in several industrial and academic projects which focused on railcars, locomotives, and automotive projects to reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint through energetic hybridization and energy management strategies making use of energy storage technologies (i.e. flywheels, batteries, supercapacitors, lithium-capacitors). Additionally, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire Universitaire des Sciences Appliquées de Cherbourg (France), his work focused on on-shore and off-shore, grid-connected and off grid-based renewable energy systems coupled with MW-scale hydrogen production using PEM electrolysis. Additionally, Kréhi Serge is a reviewer in several scientific journals (i.e. Applied Energy, IEEE Energy Conversion, International Journal of Hydrogen energy). Kréhi Serge works at Clean Horizon as a power systems expert and conducts research and development regarding storage-based power system modelling and optimization. He is in charge of dynamic modelling of electrical grids, assessing the energy storage integration benefits while guaranteeing the power system stability. Kréhi Serge speaks English and French and possesses notions of Spanish.

Anne-Sophie CHANU, Ms.C.
Financial Officer

Anne-Sophie graduated from Télécom et Management SudParis (France) and has over ten years of experience in administrative and financial management in France and abroad. She is in charge of finance, administration and internal resources.
