Meet Our Team

Adam runs the product team at Gridium. Formerly he co-founded TerraPass, and before that worked at Tellme and Trilogy. He has an MBA from Wharton and a BS from Stanford, neither of which impress his one-year-old daughter.

Ben Vickers is a back-end developer at Gridium living in St. Michael Minnesota (just outside Minneapolis). When he is not chasing after his kids, he is trying to hyzer flip Valkyries through tunnels at the local disc golf course. Except in winter… when he just freezes.

Greg is the Director of Research at Gridium. He has B.S. degrees in mathematics and physics, and an M.S. in statistics – which is what data science used to be called. Before becoming Gridium’s first employee, he developed applications in the fields of marketing research and biostatistics. Greg and his wife live in Chicago where they enjoy all kinds of music and spend their free time keeping track of their two grown children, two dogs, and a noisy parrot.

Kimberly Nicholls is a full stack engineer at Gridium who loves to make data useful. She also enjoys reading books and playing outside, especially in the water.

Before Gridium, Millen was on the marketing teams at Cleantech Group and EnerNOC. He began his career at Cambridge Associates and has an MBA from UCLA. Talk to Millen about bicycling, buildings, businesses, and green chile burritos!

Nick is the Director of Engineering at Gridium. Before Gridium, Nick co-founded the lead generation company SnapROI. His experience includes many years in mobile software development as the lead technical architect at Quickoffice Inc. (now part of Google). His hobbies include playing soccer poorly and crafting pretty good wine.

Tom Arnold is co-founder and CEO of Gridium. Prior to Gridium, Tom Arnold was the Vice President of Energy Efficiency at EnerNOC, and cofounder at TerraPass. Tom has an MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Economics from Dartmouth College. When he isn’t thinking about the future of buildings, he enjoys riding his bike and chasing after his two daughters.

Tim Canavan is the Senior Manager, Operations at Gridium. He has worked for Cambridge Associates, as a venture fellow at SJF Ventures and at a number of cleantech startups. Tim has a Masters in Environmental Management and an MBA from Duke, and a Bachelors degree from UMass Amherst. He is an avid backpacker and backcountry skier.

Ty started his work at Gridium as the first energy analyst and was the company’s second employee. He has a decade of experience in energy and sales. Outside of his role as Director of Sales, he is an avid outdoorsmen, potter, and loves to cook. He lives in Los Angeles, but escapes often.

Kevin is a front-end engineer at Gridium. He was an Intern Architect and Building Information Modeling consultant, helping large institutions more efficiently manage building information, space, and resources, until he realized writing software was much more fun than just using it.
