Clean energy executive brings experience across charging equipment and infrastructure development to lead commercial growth in North America

Alpitronic today announced the appointment of Christopher Balcom as Chief Commercial Officer for Alpitronic Americas, Inc., effective immediately. Reporting to Americas CEO Patrik Herrnegger, Balcom will oversee all commercial functions, including sales, marketing, corporate affairs, product marketing, regional R&D, application engineering, and fleet performance as the company grows its commercial organization and expands customer relationships across the region.

Balcom brings more than 12 years of experience building and scaling commercial teams across electric vehicle charging, solar, energy storage, and fleet electrification.

“Christopher brings deep industry intelligence and a hunger to build,” said Herrnegger. “He understands what customers need from charging technology and the people they partner with. His drive combined with his experience leading commercial teams will be valuable as we continue to grow our business across North America, and I’m excited to have him on our team.”

Balcom’s professional background spans charging equipment sales, infrastructure development, channel partnerships, solar, and storage, giving him a broad perspective on the operational and commercial priorities of charging customers. At Alpitronic, he will lead commercial strategy and execution.

“I’ve spent my career working with the manufacturers that build charging hardware and the developers that deploy it. From both perspectives, what matters most is whether the product can be counted on,” said Balcom. “As utilization grows, uptime and efficiency directly affect what operators earn from their assets. Alpitronic’s focus on those fundamentals is what drew me here. There’s a lot to build and a strong foundation to build from. That’s the combination I was looking for.”

Balcom holds a master’s degree in interdisciplinary sustainability and water resource management and a bachelor’s degree in international studies from Texas State University.
