About Ron Cotting

At GreenForce Energy, our goal is simple: the most money saved, the most energy conserved, the most CO₂ reduced on Earth. Because a better tomorrow isn’t promised. We’re building it, right now. I’m an entrepreneur and operator who turns vision into systems that scale. Today, I serve as Co-Founder & COO of GreenForce Energy, where we’re deploying our patented technology to help solve one of the defining challenges of our time: energy demand and climate impact. My focus is execution, manufacturing, supply chain, installation playbooks, and field M&V, so customers see results fast. Our early industrial deployments are already proving the model, a 33% lift in capacity with full ROI in ~ six weeks on a system, and the upside is even greater — up to 80% reductions in electricity for cooling and up to 90% CO₂ savings across thousands of commercial and industrial buildings. My mission is simple: be part of the solution by delivering reliable, measurable efficiency that helps businesses cut costs and emissions at the same time. Before GreenForce, I spent years in consumer packaged goods (CPG) as a hands-on COO and business development lead, building what customers asked for and making sure it got made on time, on cost, and to spec. CBD Unlimited — Part of the leadership team that expanded national retail from to 7,500+ stores in under 12 months, including top-ranked products at Walgreens. I secured manufacturing, led supplier onboarding, improved quality systems, and supported channel growth with customer-driven product lines. Natural Solutions — Helped drive 5,400% sales growth and placement in doors in just 18 months by aligning product development with retailer and consumer demand, tightening operations, and building repeatable launch processes. Across roles, I’ve stood up manufacturing, negotiated with vendors and logistics partners, reduced unit costs, improved OTIF (on-time/in-full) performance, and worked side-by-side with sales to turn customer requirements into scalable products. If you’re an operator of warehouses, distribution centers, data-adjacent sites, or large retail footprints, or an investor/partner who shares this mission, I’d love to connect.
