Founder, President and CEO, Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE)

Mr. Robbie Diamond is the Founder, President and CEO of SAFE. In 2006, he came together with Frederick W. Smith, Chairman, President, and CEO of FedEx Corporation, and General P.X. Kelley, USMC (Ret.), 28th Commandant of the Marine Corps, to form SAFE’s Energy Security Leadership Council, a group of prominent business leaders and retired senior military officers dedicated to combating the nation’s dangerous dependence on oil. Since then, SAFE and the ESLC have been at the forefront of the energy policy debate, successfully helping to shape legislation in 2007 and shepherd a new, comprehensive energy bill through the Senate Energy Committee in 2009.

Mr. Diamond is also the President and CEO of the Electrification Coalition, a nonpartisan, not-for-profit group of business leaders committed to promoting policies and actions that facilitate the deployment of electric vehicles on a mass scale working across 25 cities, in 5 states and with over 200 fleets. The Coalition was launched in November 2009, and as its first official act, released the Electrification Roadmap, a sweeping report outlining a vision for the deployment of a fully integrated electric drive network.

Diamond helped found and is the Chairman of Rhombus Energy Solutions, a company that provides intelligent power conversion solutions primarily for energy storage applications in the commercial and micro grid segments and high-powered bidirectional electric vehicles chargers. In addition, Diamond helped found and sits on the Board of HCT-Sun, a rooftop solar company that focuses on commercial and industrial rooftop development, operations, and ownership in Mumbai, India.

Mr. Diamond earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in Peace and Conflict Studies and Political Science, as well as a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School.
