What does it take to redefine an industry? Jamie Siminoff knows firsthand. As the inventor of the world’s first Wi-Fi video doorbell, Jamie transformed a simple garage innovation into Ring, a global leader in smart home security, acquired by Amazon in 2018 for over $1 billion. But his journey didn’t stop there—Jamie has spent his career turning bold ideas into practical, game-changing solutions across multiple industries.

In this inspiring keynote, Jamie will share the principles that drive innovation, and the vision required to bring groundbreaking ideas to life. Drawing on his experience as a serial entrepreneur and mission-driven leader, he’ll reveal how to identify opportunities for transformation, overcome barriers to innovation, and create products and services that not only solve problems but reshape markets.

For leaders in the utility industry, Jamie’s insights are especially relevant as you navigate the challenges of modernization, sustainability, and customer engagement. Learn how to apply the mindset of a disruptor to inspire change within your organization and lead the energy transformation of tomorrow.
