Matthew Haak
Engagement Director
As Calico Energy’s Engagement Director, Matthew brings a deep understanding of the company’s technical services and consultant capabilities to provide project leadership and team management. Matthew wears many hats in his role, serving as subject matter expert on everything from benchmarking and PJM to load management programs and demand response. He also understands what it takes to realize new initiatives — his Green Button Connect, benchmarking application and smart thermostat solution implementations achieved national recognition and ensured long-term results for Calico’s customers.
Drawing from utility ecosystem and account management expertise, Matthew works every day to help customers build practical solutions and successful programs. Having worked alongside utility program managers and executives for over a decade, Matthew brings a firm grasp of the technical and business realities surrounding projects. He manages a team of technologists and program consultants dedicated to providing efficient services and tools tailored to the customer, not one-size-fits-all. As a leader, Matthew leverages his knowledge to help the Calico team create relevant solutions based on business requirements and technical dependencies.
As an expert, Matthew’s hands-on experience combined with his utility program expertise ground him in the realities of energy management. With utility customers, he’s both a trusted advocate and technical realist. For his team, he’s a skilled leader and adviser, lending his extensive industry knowledge and practical know-how to empower the people around him.
