Nuvve Names Senior Sales Executive to Lead K-12 Student Transportation Division
Senior Vice President of Sales David Bercik comes from partner Blue Bird with responsibility for Nuvve K-12, a new dedicated division providing turnkey fleet electrification services for North American student transportation
Nuvve K-12 serves public and private school districts and fleets. Its specialists accelerate school fleet electrification by applying their experience and expertise while Nuvve's GIVe™ platform generates recurring V2G revenue and reduces charging costs through intelligent managed charging. Ultimately, these services help lower the cost of operating an electric school bus (ESB) or fleet.
"We formed Nuvve K-12 to best serve the unique and urgent needs of North American school transportation departments as they seek to phase out dirty diesel buses and reduce their operation costs. With Nuvve K-12, school transportation leaders are not alone on their electrification journeys," said Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne. "I can't think of a more qualified or driven leader for overseeing this division and our government sales than David Bercik."
Bercik brings nearly 30 years of sales and marketing leadership experience to his role, including leadership roles in the school bus, automotive, healthcare and farm equipment sectors. Most recently, as Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing at Blue Bird Corporation, Bercik oversaw substantial growth in the company's electric school bus sales, developed the supporting eco-system and enhanced relationships with the Blue Bird dealer network.
In 2022, Nuvve's specialists secured EPA Clean School Bus grants for 10 school districts in four states totaling
"It's an exciting time to join the V2G movement and its technology leader Nuvve," said Bercik. "With the Nuvve K-12 model, I look forward to helping more school districts transition to electric school bus fleets while making the transition to a cleaner, quieter and healthier environment more affordable. Since these complex solutions require significant interactions between dealers, school districts, fleets, OEMs, utilities and/or supplier partners, the Nuvve K-12 team will help champion them."
