HelioVolt, which recently announced a huge fundraising to build their production plant, today announced two new directors. Ken Pentimonti is a principal at Paladin Capital where he focuses on homeland security issues. He’s got some strong ties to the folks in D.C. so maybe someone in our nationals capital understands that energy and national security go hand in hand. Also joining the board is Ron Bernal, a partner at Sequel Ventures. Ron was a VP with Cisco, which is one of the best companies in the world at scaling and growth (and acquisitions). You can bet these deals were done when the fund raising was completed, but they’ve just been announced now.
