Inspire Clean Energy announced the appointment of Brad Bentley as President & Chief Executive Officer, effective today.

Bentley assumes the role from Founder and CEO Patrick Maloney, who will transition to a strategic advisory role on Inspire's board

For the past two years, Bentley has served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Inspire, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell New Energies US, LLC (Shell), where he has led all day-to-day operations for Inspire, including the rapid expansion of its direct-to-consumer home subscription products in the U.S.

Bentley has over 20 years of experience in leading the launch and growth of digital and subscription products in the entertainment and mobile industry, including tenure at DIRECTV and Warner Media.

In his new role, Bentley will serve on Inspire's board of directors and report into Glenn Wright, Vice President of Renewables and Energy Solutions. As Chief Executive Officer, Bentley will maintain oversight of Inspire's growth and expansion, while assuming the responsibility of leading the company's strategic roadmap and long term vision of accelerating consumer access to clean energy.

Inspire powers homes across the eastern and midwestern U.S., "with plans to rapidly expand," the company said

"During his tenure at DIRECTV, Bentley served as Senior Vice President across several core business functions, including Revenue Strategy & Planning, Sales & Marketing, and Business Analytics. Bentley was instrumental in the launch and growth of the streaming service, DIRECTV NOW. Upon AT&T's acquisition of DIRECTV, Bentley was appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer and led the integration of DIRECTV into AT&T. Most recently, Bentley served as the General Manager and Executive Vice President at Warner Media, where he was responsible for the development and delivery of the direct-to-consumer product, HBO Max, and its coordination across HBO, Turner, and Warner Brothers," Inspire said
