Scaling a Safer Future: Aligning Strategy, Supply Chain, and Execution
EticaAG, a provider of non-flammable lithium battery energy storage systems (BESS), has named John Dohm as Chief Operating Officer. Dohm will oversee manufacturing scale-up, operational strategy, and process optimization as the company expands its market presence across the utility, commercial, and infrastructure sectors.
Dohm brings over two decades of experience leading high-growth companies and implementing large-scale manufacturing systems. His background spans energy systems integration, high-voltage electrical equipment, and operational leadership in both startup and enterprise environments. At Southern California Edison and CAISO, he supported grid modernization efforts, while his private-sector roles focused on building automation-driven production lines to improve throughput and reliability.
At EticaAG, Dohm will lead the buildout of U.S.-based production and apply automation and process engineering to support the company’s commitment to safety, reliability, and performance.
“John brings the rare ability to align strategy with execution at scale,” said Matthew Ward, President of EticaAG. “His expertise in grid operations and high-volume manufacturing will be critical as we expand access to our fire-safe energy storage platforms across more project sites and markets.”
Dohm holds an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a master’s in computer science from Loyola University Chicago. His prior leadership roles include positions at Light Field Lab, Sixgill, RealD, and Deloitte, where he managed teams, technologies, and budgets of up to $200 million.
“EticaAG is solving one of the most urgent problems in energy storage—safety,” said John Dohm. “What drew me here is the technical depth of the team and their focus on engineering excellence. I’m looking forward to building the operational engine that enables faster, safer deployments at scale.”
