Gary S Winemaster

Gary S Winemaster

Gary S. Winemaster is a seasoned executive and a leading figure in the clean energy and alternative fuel industries. An Illinois native, the CEO of NEXIO Power has played a pivotal role in advancing the company’s mission to provide sustainable, green-powered vehicles and energy solutions to the commercial vehicle sector. With decades of experience in clean energy, Gary has built a reputation for his innovative leadership approach, deep technical expertise, and commitment to sustainability.

Gary Winemaster’s career began at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, where he distinguished himself academically and athletically. As the varsity football team captain, he developed key leadership skills such as teamwork, discipline, and managing pressure. These qualities would later shape his executive career, where he consistently applied these principles to lead successful companies. His academic success and leadership on the football field laid the foundation for the drive and determination to characterize his professional life.

Building on his educational experience at the University of Pennsylvania, Gary’s career took him overseas to Europe, where he worked for a global glass manufacturer in Luxembourg. During his time in Europe, he played a key role in the development and execution of market strategies that led to the complete sellout of the factory’s production. This experience was an essential step in Gary’s career, allowing him to hone his strategic thinking while working in a diverse, international business environment. The global perspective and insights he gained during this time would prove invaluable as he transitioned into leadership roles within the clean energy industry.

Gary’s career in the clean energy sector began in 1989 when he founded Power Solutions International (PSI). As CEO, he led PSI to become a recognized alternative fuel engine technology leader, serving industrial and on-highway markets. Under his leadership, PSI grew significantly, expanding its product offerings and building a solid global presence. His ability to recognize emerging trends in the energy market and his commitment to innovation allowed PSI to stay ahead of its competitors. His leadership helped PSI ship over 1.5 million engines worldwide, cementing its position as a key player in the clean energy sector.

One of Gary’s standout leadership qualities is his ability to forge strategic partnerships with industry leaders. Throughout his career, he has cultivated strong relationships with major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Navistar, Freightliner, and Caterpillar. These partnerships were instrumental in expanding PSI’s market share, as they enabled the company to serve a broader customer base and develop cutting-edge solutions for the alternative fuel market. Gary’s ability to build these lasting relationships is a testament to his business acumen and dedication to fostering long-term success for the companies he leads.

After retiring from PSI, Gary transitioned to his current NEXIO Power CEO role. At NEXIO, Gary has continued to focus on providing sustainable energy solutions for the commercial vehicle sector. Under his guidance, NEXIO Power has developed green-powered trucks and chassis, offering cutting-edge alternatives to traditional fuel sources. His leadership has driven the company’s growth, as he has consistently pushed for innovation and adopting sustainable energy technologies. Gary’s focus on alternative fuel solutions and his ability to navigate the evolving clean energy landscape has helped NEXIO Power maintain a leadership position in the industry.

Gary Winemaster’s commitment to sustainability is at the heart of his career. Throughout his work at PSI and NEXIO Power, he has focused on advancing technologies that reduce the environmental impact of transportation. His efforts to promote clean energy solutions have played a crucial role in the broader movement toward sustainability in the commercial vehicle sector. Gary’s work has not only helped reduce the transportation industry's carbon footprint but has also demonstrated the potential for alternative fuel technologies to drive positive change.

Gary continues to lead NEXIO Power today, ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of the green energy revolution. His strategic vision, technical expertise, and commitment to sustainability continue to drive the company’s success and ensure that NEXIO Power remains a leader in developing green-powered vehicles. Gary’s leadership is shaping the future of transportation, and his work will continue to have a lasting impact on the clean energy sector for years to come.

Gary S. Winemaster’s career is a powerful example of how visionary leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to sustainability can drive significant change. His contributions to the clean energy sector, particularly in the commercial vehicle industry, have helped pave the way for a more sustainable future. As NEXIO Power continues to develop innovative green-powered solutions, Gary’s leadership will remain a key factor in shaping the industry's future.
