Dennis Fehr
Rob Davies
6K has announced Dennis Fehr as CFO of 6K and Rob Davies as COO of 6K Energy.
Fehr brings experience maturing finance organizations. Prior to 6K, Fehr was CFO of Fluence Energy, where he expanded revenue from $30 million in FY18 to $1.2 billion in FY22 and grew its international presence to 10 regional entities across the globe.
"Dennis brings a compelling blend of strategic and financial knowledge with a successful career at a multinational technology organization and an energy sector start-up that he helped propel into a $1B public company," said Dr. Aaron Bent, 6K CEO. "He will play a key role as 6K transitions to its next stage of corporate development and expands our UniMelt technology in the battery and additive manufacturing markets."
"6K has made tremendous progress on its growth strategy with significant opportunity ahead in both battery and additive manufacturing markets," said Fehr. "I am excited to help advance 6K's business as customers, policymakers and investors increasingly recognize the importance of clean technology and the necessity of a domestic supply chain of critical materials. I look forward to partnering with 6K leadership to drive growth and create value for our shareholders."
Davies is an experienced strategic and operational leader. This appointment follows a 10-year career at Cabot Corporation, where he was responsible for the industrial performance of 18 global carbon black plants and chaired the company's manufacturing council. At 6K Energy, he will oversee manufacturing expansion, including the full scale PlusCAM cathode material production scheduled to open in 2025, which is funded in part by the recently awarded $50M Department of Energy grant from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Sam Trinch, 6K Energy President, said, "The appointment of Rob catapults 6K Energy into a new phase of our growth journey. With the inception of the COO role, I am confident this will provide the leadership and vision to grow 6K Energy into the leading domestic supplier of battery materials. Having Rob on board gives us a high-velocity operating model and manufacturing vision that will empower our people to deliver an unmatched supply chain of material to our customers and partners as we scale up operations."
"With the depth of industry knowledge, impressive growth strategy and strong instincts for innovation and supply chain readiness, 6K Energy is poised for a powerful upward trajectory," said Davies. "I am enthusiastic about the future of 6K Energy, and I look forward to leading the manufacturing expansion of the organization across the battery material industry."
