Sullivan brings nearly four decades of experience managing complex
construction projects at Fluor Corporation, a Fortune 500 engineering
and construction firm. This includes several years planning and
executing projects throughout Kern County, where he served as the
project director for the proposed Hydrogen Energy California (HECA)
Project and previously the project manager for the Mobil San Ardo and
Belridge cogeneration facilities. Sullivan’s oversight of GlassPoint
projects in the Americas will include the recently-announced Belridge
Solar Project with Aera Energy, which will be California’s largest
solar project.

“Donald has built entire teams from scratch and executed projects
successfully all over the world,” said GlassPoint COO and acting CEO Ben
Bierman. “He is ideally suited to build on our track record of safe, on
time project delivery as he takes the helm of GlassPoint projects across
the Western Hemisphere.”

At Fluor, Sullivan rose through the ranks from Associate Engineer
shortly after graduating college to the position of Executive Projects
Director. Along the way, Sullivan’s engineering and project management
work spanned the globe from Texas to South Africa to Venezuela—a
parallel to GlassPoint’s international project portfolio and workforce.

As Vice President of Projects in the Americas, Sullivan’s first priority
will be to build up a team of experienced engineers and construction
professionals to support the company’s growth in California as it plans
more solar projects in Kern County and the Central Valley region.

“By delivering emissions-free and affordable energy to the oil and gas
industry through innovative solar technology, GlassPoint has earned the
respect of engineers across the energy sector,” said Sullivan. “I am
honored to contribute to the company’s continued leadership in
delivering financial and environmental benefits to its clients and
communities around the world, starting right here in Bakersfield with
the Belridge Solar Project.”
