Wisewood Energy Executive Team
Andrew Haden, Founder & President
Andrew is considered one of the nation’s foremost experts in biomass systems and technology. He is the founder and president of Wisewood Energy, and has over 12 years of experience in the biomass industry. He’s led the development and implementation of numerous biomass energy projects. When not in the office, you can find Andrew fly fishing, skiing, mountain biking and enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest from his camper van.
Nerissa Zahora, Vice President & Director of Operations
As the Director of Operations, Nerissa manages the details — both big and small. From accounting and operations to project coordination and subcontractor management, she makes it happen. With a decade of experience in the engineering and construction fields, she is a natural fit in the biomass business. Originally from New York, Nerissa now calls Oregon home and can often be found outdoors with her family or working on house projects.
Meagan Hartman, Vice President & Director of Business Development
With roots in rural Oregon and training in fire ecology, restoration economies, and collaborative governance, Meagan came upon wood energy at the confluence of her interests nearly a decade ago. After cutting her teeth on all aspects of biomass project development from origination through operations, Meagan now leads business development across the American West for Wisewood. Outside of work you can find Meagan getting her hands dirty with her husband on their two acres, singing soprano in a choir ensemble, or playing a mean game of Nertz.
Teamwork makes the dream work! The Wisewood Energy team is a solid group of individuals passionate about the wise use of resources, the clean energy economy, and high quality workmanship. Our executive team helps to steer the ship through ongoing operations.
