Chris White

I love figuring out how to make technology, policy, and human behavior come together so that everyone comes out ahead. My job lets me work on stratgies, policies, and deployment plans that connect people to electric transportation.

I work for Kittelson & Associated, an diverse transportation engineering company that focuses on transportation safety, emerging technology, and getting people out of their cars and on to bikes, buses, and walking/rolling. I spend my days figuring out to transition to zero emission vehicles and in a manner that is equitable, inclusive, and beneficial to everyone. It's exciting and I learn something new every day.

My other passion is coaching, mentoring, and facilitation. I enjoy helping my friends and colleagues grow their interests and capabilities. It’s awesome to play some small role in dynamic teams that put ideas into action.
