New Energy Appoints Peter Fusaro, Todd Pitcher to Board of Directors

New Energy Technologies, Inc. announced the addition of global energy experts and clean tech executives Peter C. Fusaro and Todd M. Pitcher to its Board of Directors.

Fusaro is a global authority on energy and environmental financial markets, having authored more than 700 published articles and 16 books on the subject, including a New York Times best-seller. He is a sought-after keynote speaker, appearing numerous times on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, Fox Business, and cited by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, Time, Reuters, Dow Jones, and others.

Fusaro’s industry experience spans from his early start to remove lead from conventional gasoline while at the U.S, Environmental Protection Agency, to consulting to Toyota’s development team on its Prius car, the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle.

Mr. Fusaro received his bachelor’s degree from Carnegie-Mellon University and his master’s in international relations at Tufts University.

Pitcher is an experienced executive, currently serving as chairman of a start-up company where he has directed its corporate strategy from zero revenues at inception to recently reporting 18 consecutive months of profitability on multi-million dollar revenues. He brings extensive experience with private equity and institutional financing, operations, corporate governance, and sales growth, including an established record of negotiating strategic development/sales agreements with Fortune 500 companies.

Pitcher earned his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from University of California at Berkeley, undertook graduate studies at University of California at Santa Barbara and Claremont Graduate School.

“I’m honored to welcome Mr. Fusaro and Mr. Pitcher to our Board,” stated John A. Conklin, president and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc. “I very much look forward to leveraging their specific expertise with business management, corporate finance and sales growth as we continue to execute our capital markets plan and advance our SolarWindow and MotionPower technologies towards commercialization.”

Recently, New Energy unveiled its largest-ever, one-foot by one-foot working SolarWindow prototype, capable of generating electricity on see-thru glass. Earlier this month, the Company announced a three-fold increase in the number of solar cells layered onto glass surfaces – a significant step towards maximizing power output and key to commercial launch of SolarWindow.
