(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NRGV, NRGV WS) (“Energy Vault) today announced that Mary Beth Mandanas and Thomas Ertel have been appointed to join Energy Vault’s Board of Directors.


“Mary Beth and Thomas are invaluable additions to Energy Vault’s Board,” said Robert Piconi, Chief Executive Officer of Energy Vault. “In addition to their exceptional experience and in-depth knowledge in their respective fields that will enhance our Board of Directors, they are also well respected leaders that share our values as a company and who built very successful careers upon that foundation.

Formation of Strategic Advisory Board


Energy Vault also announced the formation of a new Strategic Advisory Board (SAB), consisting of respected industry leaders from Energy Vault’s existing strategic investor and customer base who bring relevant domain experience, deep knowledge of the evolving technology landscape and a proven track record of shareholder value creation.

The SAB will meet formally every quarter to review the most relevant technology and market trends, and the intersection of these trends with Energy Vault’s own technology and strategic roadmap in order to optimize the Company’s energy storage solution focus and longer-term strategic evolution.


“This is an exceptional group representing some of the leading global energy and industrial companies in the world who uniformly share our passion and urgency to decarbonize the planet,” said Piconi. “We are formalizing the Strategic Advisory Board to harness the unmatched market experience, global footprint, and collective commitment of these companies to sustainability and decarbonization as we are entering our global deployment phase of our energy management and storage solutions. It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with such an esteemed group of leaders as investors and partners as we focus on customer execution globally and our mission of advancing Energy Vault’s technology to combat global climate change.”

“Expanding the use of renewables is imperative to tackling the climate crisis and achieving the goals of the Global Climate Action Plan announced at COP26,” said Leonardo DiCaprio. “Energy Vault’s innovative energy storage technology allows clean power to be used around the clock, replacing the need for fossil fuels. Focusing on sustainability, Energy Vault is able to use recycled and waste materials to make the composite blocks that are the heart of its technology. I am proud to join Energy Vault on its mission to accelerate decarbonization of our planet.”


“From the time I have spent meeting with Leo and discussing our shared urgency for decarbonizing the planet, I have been most impressed with his priority and personal commitment broadly to sustainability, and specifically in elevating the discussion on the need to address Climate Change more aggressively as a global community,” said Robert Piconi, Co-Founder and CEO of Energy Vault. “In addition to his multiple investments in Energy Vault the last two years, we are thrilled to have him play a more active role as a strategic advisor given the unique perspectives from his global following and his ability to reach a broader audience toward accelerating decarbonization.”
