Meet the Leadership Team
Joey Fiore
Chief Executive Officer
Joey Fiore is co-founder and CEO of PowerLabs, leading overall strategy and execution across the company. During the start of the Covid lockdowns, he left Netflix and started PowerLabs, with the goal of creating a way to turn any underutilized land into plug-and-play, on-demand solar fields. Prior to that, he'd pioneered solutions engineering at Netflix, leading one of the first teams dedicated to practical, rapid-response software development and process optimization. His passion for the environment dates back to Captain Planet informing him that the power is (his, and yours), and helping lead climate-related initiatives at Northeastern University while studying geology and serving as student body president. Fun Fact: Joey is renovating his Second Empire Victorian home on the North Shore, in between armchair quarterbacking the application of technology for archaeology and paleontology.
