Larsh has been a thought leader in the electric energy sector and has been at the forefront of the Smart Grid movement since its inception. Larsh’s impact on the market began when he co-founded CellNet Data Systems in 1984 and built a managed services business to remotely collect and process meter reads through one of the first advanced metering networks, which ultimately grew to 12M service delivery points. Larsh later co-founded eMeter Corporation in 2000 and continued to provide thought leadership to the market with a focus on smart metering business processes, IT data management and integration. eMeter was acquired by Siemens in 2012.
