Verdagy's Strategic Leadership Transition: A New Era Begins

On June 17, 2025, Verdagy, a prominent player in green hydrogen electrolysis, announced a pivotal leadership change to enhance its growth trajectory and strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving clean hydrogen market. After serving as CEO for four transformative years, Marty Neese will step down to take on the role of CEO at Ballard Power Systems. Succeeding him will be Rahul Bammi, who has held the position of President at Verdagy since 2023. This leadership shift signals a renewed commitment to advancing Verdagy’s innovative technologies and commercial strategies.

A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation

Marty Neese has been instrumental in Verdagy's growth, transitioning the company from its early phases to a technology leader in the hydrogen sector. Under his guidance, Verdagy developed the Dynamic Alkaline electrolyzers that are celebrated for their scalability and cost-effectiveness in hydrogen production. Neese expressed pride in the team and optimism for Verdagy’s future, stating, "I am excited about Verdagy's capabilities and the next steps of growth that Rahul will lead. His experience and insight are well-suited for guiding Verdagy through this critical transition."

Rahul Bammi’s appointment is backed by a robust track record in scaling global technology firms and has been crucial for Verdagy's strategic initiatives. In his role as President, he led market entry strategies, developed a comprehensive pipeline of hydrogen projects, and was responsible for significant capital raises. Bammi’s diverse experience in clean energy and technology has prepared him for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Looking to the Future

With Bammi at the helm, Verdagy aims to capitalize on its partnerships and customer base to accelerate commercial deployments of its innovative hydrogen technologies. "I am honored to take on the role of CEO at Verdagy. We have an outstanding group of investors and partners, including Khosla Ventures, Temasek, Shell, and others, whose support is critical as we navigate the next phase of commercialization," said Bammi. His focus will be on unlocking the full potential of the Verdagy team and driving the company toward becoming a global leader in clean hydrogen.

The Path to Clean Hydrogen

Verdagy’s flagship product, the Dynamic AWE electrolyzers, are designed to integrate seamlessly with renewable energy sources for hydrogen production, boasting the lowest levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) and optimal asset utilization. As the company continues to innovate in electrolysis technology, it operates a state-of-the-art hydrogen production facility and R&D complex in Moss Landing, California, where it relentlessly pursues advancements in efficiency and effectiveness in hydrogen generation.

This leadership transition comes at a time when the demand for clean hydrogen is surging, driven by an increasing global focus on sustainability and reduction of carbon footprints across various industries. With a strategic vision and a strong leadership team, Verdagy is set to make significant strides in the clean hydrogen ecosystem, poised to leverage emerging opportunities and contribute to the world’s clean energy revolution.
