Energy News is proud to welcome Ryan Sookhoo to our Advisory Board—an industry veteran who brings over two decades of hard-won experience at the front lines of hydrogen deployment and commercialization. From securing the first UL-certified fuel cell module to spearheading market strategies across aerospace, marine, mining, and heavy-duty transport, Sookhoo has proven himself a catalyst for clean energy progress in sectors that matter.
Sookhoo is not merely a technical expert, though his career began in electrical engineering at Hydrogenics—he’s a cross-functional leader who’s thrived in roles that demanded both vision and execution. His leadership at Accelera by Cummins and now EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies showcases his ability to connect risk management, market expansion, and sustainability into real-world outcomes. At Cummins, he helped shape global hydrogen business strategies, steering entry into challenging sectors like rail and mining. Today, he leads the North American expansion of EKPO’s heavy-duty hydrogen applications, helping industrial players navigate complex partnership, EPC, and JV landscapes.
But what sets Sookhoo apart isn’t just his resume—it’s his drive. His career has consistently been focused on enabling the “first-of-its-kind” and bringing others along in the process. Whether mentoring young engineers or forging coalitions across policy, manufacturing, and end-use sectors, his people-first approach reflects a deep belief in clean energy as a collective mission.
With a strategic mindset sharpened by decades of navigating hydrogen’s evolving reality, Ryan Sookhoo joins Energy News as a powerful voice at the intersection of technical innovation, commercial pragmatism, and industrial-scale impact. We’re excited to have him help shape the conversation—and the future.
