CEO, Mr. Marshall Towe. “Mike is a proven winner and I am extremely pleased to have a leader and global businessman of his caliber and academic and professional accomplishments on board to drive our company forward.”

“A core value in Silicon Valley is to build great companies that change the world in a positive way through technology innovation,” said Mr. Crumlin. “It’s that same core value, along with the people I met within the company and its partners and within the customer base that attracted me to the Cascadiant opportunity and the move to Asia.”
“The Cascadiant Managed Energy Service (MES™) eliminates the risks operators face when deploying new green technologies. Our fixed price long-term energy service contracts provide for carrier-grade performance, while ensuring a total cost of ownership (TCO) well below that of outdated and polluting alternatives, proving there is no longer a business, technology or operational justification for operators to continue employing century old environmentally damaging diesel generators for power” stated Crumlin.
