(\u201cESS,\u201d \u201cESS, Inc.\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NYSE: GWH), a leading manufacturer of long-duration energy storage systems (LDES) for commercial and utility-scale applications, today announced the Board of Directors has appointed Drew Buckley as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026, succeeding Interim CEO Kelly Goodman. In addition, the Board appointed Kelly Goodman as Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel. The Board also appointed Kate Suhadolnik as Chief Financial Officer from her current role as Interim CFO.<\/p>\n<p>\nDrew Buckley brings nearly two decades of experience focused exclusively on investing in publicly traded small- and mid-cap technology companies, where disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and credibility with investors determine long-term success. He joined ESS in August 2025 to lead the Company\u2019s investor relations and capital market strategy, shaping the Company\u2019s financial strategy while managing investor relations, financing activities, and market positioning to support long-term value creation for shareholders. Prior to ESS, he spent 17 years at William Blair as a Partner and sector leader focused on technology. Throughout his career, Drew has worked closely with management teams globally to navigate key inflection points: scaling operations, strengthening commercial execution, accessing capital responsibly, and building durable investor trust in public markets.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDrew brings an incredible track record of success, with the experience and industry relationships necessary to lead ESS to its next stage, manufacturing and delivery of our first Energy Base projects, and broader commercialization expected to commence this year,\u201d said Harry Quarls, Chairman of the Board of Directors. \u201cHis extensive experience as a global public-market investor and a firm partner uniquely positions him to scale the business, strengthen strategic partnerships, and drive long-term value for shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe would also like to thank Kelly for her exceptional time serving in the role of Interim CEO, where she advanced key customer programs and signed the first agreement for large-scale deployment of our next-generation platform, the 50 MWh Energy Base pilot project with Salt River Project. As CSO, she will continue to play a lead role in executing corporate strategy. Kate\u2019s leadership as Interim CFO, especially guiding us through the complexities of a recent $40 million financing transaction, makes her an ideal fit for the role,\u201d concluded Quarls.<\/p>\n<p>\nDrew Buckley, Chief Executive Officer of ESS, commented, \u201cLooking ahead, my focus is on execution: aligning strategy, capital allocation, manufacturing scale-up, and organizational design to deliver sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. We look forward to providing an updated medium term business outlook in the coming months and greater technology insight with an investor\/analyst day at Company headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About ESS, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nESS (NYSE: GWH) is the leading manufacturer of long-duration iron flow energy storage solutions.
