Chris Griffin

Chris Griffin is the co-founder and CEO of Hover Energy, a Dallas company that builds patented Wind-Powered Microgrids - arrays of 36kW rooftop turbines paired with solar and storage that let commercial buildings make their own clean power. An aerospace engineer turned Wall Street financier turned clean-energy entrepreneur, Griffin spent roughly two decades chasing the same idea before one of his rooftop systems rode out 105 mph gusts during Hurricane Ian. He has since taken the technology international, with a Royal Navy installation in Liverpool and a joint venture to scale deployments for blue-chip clients.
