We’re competing—and winning—on a global stage, while officing proudly from the Great Lakes. Led by a former White House energy advisor and a former military leader, our team is built for high-stakes execution with innovators and super-connectors across sectors. Pay attention.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our "Game Changer Luncheon" with Zero Circle, Schneider Electric, and Energy Security Partners, moderated by Kerry C. Duggan. The session spotlighted how companies like ZeroCircle and Schneider Electric are redefining sustainable supply chain - highlighting practical solutions that are already making a difference. Grateful to our speakers, Hemanth Setty and Dave Rimkus, and all of the attendees for an honest, forward-thinking discussion. These are the kinds of conversations that help move the needle!

Because solving complex challenges like energy security and economic resilience requires more than just capital. It takes collaboration, execution, and staying power. From early-stage founders to global energy leaders to forward-looking public institutions—we partner across sectors to unlock solutions that last. This Friday, we’re putting that philosophy into action. We’re hosting our next "Game Changer Luncheon" with Hemanth Setty, CEO of Zero Circle (and former Dun & Bradstreet executive), and Dave Rimkus of Schneider Electric, alongside our founder and managing partner, Kerry C. Duggan. We’ll dive into how Zero Circle’s AI-powered finance platform is unlocking access to capital for small- and medium-sized organizations—bringing compliance, impact measurement, and growth strategy into one integrated solution. It's designed to help businesses reduce waste, improve performance, and prepare for the future. This is what ESP is built for: enabling execution through smart partnerships. If you’re serious about building what’s next, I hope you’ll join us. Come as you are. Off-camera welcome. Sandwich optional.

Today is Memorial Day—a moment to honor those who served and sacrificed to defend our shared freedom. Like many families across Michigan, we’re up north—surrounded by freshwater, forest, and legacy. It’s a reminder of what we’re protecting, and why securing energy, infrastructure, and operational readiness isn’t optional—it’s essential. As we head into Detroit Regional Chamber's Mackinac Policy Conference this week, look for our Founder and Managing Partner Kerry C. Duggan to share more about why Michigan is the backbone of American energy security and industrial resurgence. Michigan isn’t just where we operate, it’s how we deliver. Join us. The future of American resilience starts here. #EnergySecurity #MissionReady #InstallationResilience #IndustrialResurgence #MackinacPolicyConference #MichiganLeadership #EnergyReliability #RebuildTheBase #SupplyChainStrength #AmericanResilience #MidwestMomentum #DefenseIndustrialBase #EnergyAsACapability #StrategicLocation
