Enviro-Tech Company Appoints A New Managing Director To Drive Growth

David Grundy, new managing director at Harmonic

An enviro-tech company that uses AI to help decarbonise buildings has appointed a new managing director to accelerate its growth plans.

Harmonic has appointed David Grundy to the new role. He brings over 20 years of experience, having previously held senior positions at ISS Technical Facilities, E.ON Control Solutions, Mitie Energy and Honeywell.

Commenting on his new role, David Grundy, said: “Harmonic is at the forefront of technology in this critical area, and it's exciting to join the company at the start of its journey. The company only launched in May and already has customers on board that are benefiting from the carbon reduction capabilities of the platform. Organisations are more committed to Net Zero than ever, and we can support them on that important journey.”

Harmonic uses a combination of IOT technology and an AI-driven platform to identify and remove waste, reducing building energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions. By integrating human behavioural and space analytics data with utilities usage, Harmonic can predict, manage and minimise spiralling energy costs and carbon emissions.

The technology uses a people-centric web platform, mobile app, and optional sensor devices, which can interface with metering and other building data as well as integrate with third-party systems and data feeds. Harmonic is the first to integrate resource and amenity booking management, sensor data, and building operations.

Harmonic is backed by the Solution Performance Group (SPG), a diverse company that spans digital transformation, software development and tech talent recruitment.

Gareth Humphreys, group CEO at SPG, concluded: “David has a wealth of experience in deploying advanced technologies in energy and environmental management. Harmonic has a huge potential to help companies of all sizes make immediate energy savings and make a real difference in their carbon emissions. I look forward to seeing the company grow over the coming months.”
