TOM DOUGHERTY

MANAGING MEMBER, OWNER

Tom brings over 30 years of diverse experience to the table, leading him up to his decision to found MarketWISE. He leveraged his degree in Information Management to begin his career working on computer and reporting systems in the steel and consumer goods industries. Tom got his first taste of the energy industry, working for Westinghouse Electric Company where he supported Westinghouse’s development of EDI rules through their supplier community and the Utility Industry Group, which literally wrote the book on how the Energy Industry would use EDI going forward. Tom has also managed EDI teams at Mellon Bank and PPG Industries. Tom then spent 9 years with Strategic Energy, a startup supplier as EDI Manager and Director of Information Management. Tom built teams to support EDI operations, data management and utility market operations. He was a key player in the six years of continuous market Entry and new product roll outs that ultimately resulted in Strategic Energy status as a major supplier of Electricity to commercial and industrial customers in 12 states and in over 50 utility markets. Upon leaving Strategic spent some time working in the healthcare industry, and conducted personal IT & Business consulting engagements. He then spent 2 years as the Director of Operations for a start up demand response and broker company, ClearChoice Energy. Most recently, Tom spent 3 years with Ista/Aurea, an EDI/CIS billing service provider, serving as a Senior Retail Analyst. Here he monitored changes in the electric and gas markets and advised Ista and their clients on the impact and implementation requirements of these market changes. In October 2015, Tom ventured out on his own to found Marketwise Consulting Services, LLC, with a vision of providing products and services to suppliers and service providers to relieve many of the energy industry’s pain points with which he became intimately familiar over the course of his career.
