AGent Announces Mission Critical CEO Appointment

Stephanie Hendricks to lead AGent's rapidly expanding, mission-critical engagement with investors, industry partners, customers, and teammates

HOUSTON, May 13, 2025 - AGent, Inc., a developer of AI-driven distributed power plants (DPP), today announced that its board of directors has appointed Stephanie Hendricks, a veteran DPP and AI executive, as its new Chief Executive Officer. Hendricks brings together unparalleled experience and success building and operating DPPs at scale, with AI leadership expertise, to deliver grid services in every wholesale power market in North America. Unprecedented electricity load growth, growing imbalances between electricity supply and demand, and increasingly complex energy assets create an environment where deep experience in AI and scaled DPP operations make Hendricks the ideal AGent CEO.

In this role, Hendricks will be responsible for leading the execution of the strategic direction of AGent, including capital formation, leadership team development, product platform expansion, new market entry, and achievement of growth objectives.

Most recently, Hendricks served as the Chief Operating Officer of Voltus, Inc., where she built the market-leading, global, 24/7 field operations, dispatch operations, and customer success teams that drove Voltus's industry-leading growth and success. During her tenure, she oversaw thousands of successful DPP dispatches that helped lower energy bills by billions of dollars while helping to avert brownouts and blackouts across nine wholesale power markets, including ISO-NE, IESO, NYISO, PJM, MISO, ERCOT, SPP, AESO, and CAISO.

In addition to her extensive commercial experience in the DPP industry, Hendricks is a former Naval Warfare Intelligence officer with top-secret federal intelligence credentials who brings a security and safety-first mindset to mission critical operations. Prior to Voltus, Hendricks led AI platform growth at NDimensional, focused on monitoring, diagnosing, predicting, and optimizing industrial IoT assets in real-time.

Gregg Dixon, chairman of the AGent board of directors, stated, "AGent's platform delivers mission-critical technology and services to large commercial and industrial energy consumers, grid operators, and utilities that are called on to avert blackouts and save lives. Mission critical requires a mission-driven leader with deep experience, proven results, and a 24/7 commitment to success. One person came to mind for this role: Stephanie Hendricks. We're incredibly fortunate and proud to have her lead AGent's mission."

"With the EPA's recent regulatory clarity on the use of emergency generators to deliver grid services, the DPP market size has doubled overnight," said Hendricks. "These resources are the highest quality power resource available when the grid is stressed. The AGent technology platform unleashes the full value of these distributed power plants at a time when electricity demand growth is at unprecedented levels while electricity supply margins are shrinking. I'm thrilled to lead AGent's mission to help solve this critical challenge."
