"I am honored to be recognized by ACT on their ‘40 Under 40’ list, among so many other accomplished professionals," says Jacobs. "I hold the other winners in the highest regard and am truly flattered to be recognized for doing a job that helps serve a global need as EV adoption continues to expand.”
Brandon was selected for his role as Regional Vice President for Blink where he leads a team of sales executives to meet the growing demand of electric vehicle (EV) charging needs. He is responsible for all sales operations in the east half of the U.S. where he oversees deployments of chargers at multifamily buildings, parking garages, office space, retail, convenient stores, and more.
“These exceptional leaders are pushing the boundaries of TDM from all directions. They are changing the lives of commuters and furthering sustainability initiatives and it’s so fulfilling to recognize them in person. I look forward to the bright multi-modal future that this next generation of TDM professionals is ushering us toward,” said ACT Executive Director, David Straus.
