On the operations side, Burness is elated to announce the addition of Cheryl Alspach who brings over 30 years of experience in customer service and operations to National Car Charging after years of working in international non-profits, human resources, recruiting, account management, high-touch call centers, and healthcare.
“Cheryl initially joined us part-time early in 2022, and we quickly realized she was invaluable and a critical addition to our team,” Burness said. “Her experience, pragmatic management style, creative problem solving and leadership without question has allowed our organization to flourish, meet the market demands and serve our customers better.”
Alspach enjoys helping companies become more efficient, more profitable, and more fun! She's excited to bring her expertise and skills to NCC and the growing renewables segment. "Whether it be job creation or reducing pollution, it is exciting to see the industry advancement and the impact it will have for future generations," Alspach said.
