CEO, clearGRID™ | Queen of Culture, Gener8™

​

Ellen Christopherson is a trailblazer in smart infrastructure and the dynamic CEO of clearGRID™, one of Gener8’s most mission-driven technology companies. A lifelong problem-solver and innovator, Ellen brings a rare mix of technical precision, leadership strength, and heart-centered vision to everything she does.

​

She earned her pilot’s license at just 16 years old—proving early on that she doesn’t wait for permission to fly. Since then, she’s carved her path as a respected executive and culture-builder in sectors ranging from tech to energy to asset management.

​

At clearGRID™, Ellen leads with sharp strategy and a deep commitment to real-world results—transforming how municipalities, developers, and utilities think about smart metering, data access, and infrastructure resilience. Under her leadership, clearGRID™ is not just streamlining operations—it’s reshaping how people connect to the systems that power their communities.

​

Within Gener8™, Ellen is known as the Queen of Culture. Her presence sets a tone of integrity, empathy, and collaborative momentum across every team. She champions values that empower people, attract aligned partners, and hold the collective to its highest standard.

​

When she’s not innovating or inspiring, you’ll find Ellen surrounded by her animals—the other loves of her life. Whether she’s flying, leading, or listening, she brings her full self to every mission.
