Inlyte Energy Welcomes GE and Tesla Veterans to Leadership Team to Accelerate Commercialization

SAN LEANDRO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inlyte Energy, a manufacturer of iron-sodium battery energy storage systems, today announced the appointment of three executives to the company's leadership team. Sandor Hollo, former Chief Technology Officer of GE Energy Storage, joins as EVP of Product; Alison Armstrong, former manufacturing director from Tesla, joins as Head of Operations; and Dilip Goswami, former CEO of Molekule and venture partner at At One Ventures, joins as President. The new leadership appointments mark a pivotal moment for Inlyte Energy as it transitions from technology development to commercial-scale production.

"Inlyte is at an inflection point. We've proven that our iron-sodium technology is ready for grid-scale storage, and now is the moment to scale," said Antonio Baclig, CEO of Inlyte Energy. "Sandor, Alison, and Dilip have unmatched experience building and commercializing new technology, and I'm confident their experience will help transform Inlyte into a world-class manufacturing organization that pushes forward American leadership in energy storage."

As the CTO for GE's Energy Storage division, Hollo built a global engineering organization of 120+ employees and oversaw the scale-up of GE's Durathon™ battery plant in Schenectady, New York. The factory produced a sodium-nickel battery based on a similar sodium metal chloride (NaMX) chemistry as Inlyte's iron-sodium battery, and Hollo will bring his decades of experience with the technology to optimize Inlyte's products for the stationary storage market. Most recently, Hollo served as the Chief Engineer at REFIRE, a leading fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturer. "Having spent over a decade commercializing sodium metal chloride batteries, I can say with confidence that what Inlyte has accomplished is a real leap forward," said Hollo. "Inlyte's iron-sodium battery is technically mature, the supply chain is secure, and the company is ready to meet the needs of today's grid."

Armstrong joins following a distinguished career in manufacturing across Ford Motor Company, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Tesla, and Zero Motorcycles. At Tesla, Armstrong led a team of 1,800 employees manufacturing powertrain products for the Model X and Model S, and she brings her experience in scaling high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing in the United States to Inlyte. Armstrong also served as the VP of Manufacturing and Programs at Zero Motorcycles, where she doubled the company's manufacturing footprint in California to grow battery and motor production. "In my experience, high-volume manufacturing is one of the hardest transitions for startups," said Armstrong. "I'm excited to bring my experience scaling domestic manufacturing to deliver resilient, affordable energy storage to our customers."

Goswami co-founded Molekule and led the company as the CEO, President, and CTO to $100M+ in revenue, $100M+ in successive fundraises and a public listing through a merger with AeroClean Technologies. Goswami's decision to join the leadership team follows his term as a Venture Partner at At One Ventures, where he led the firm's initial investment in Inlyte Energy. Goswami will lead Inlyte's finance and strategy to position the company for its next phase of growth. "Inlyte has a unique position of innovative but proven technology, unbeatable cost, and surging customer interest," said Goswami. "Now it's time to execute on our vision for large scale, safe, cost-effective energy storage."

These hires come as Inlyte has announced its first utility-scale BESS project with Southern Company and a Department of Energy-backed commercial-scale project in a fire-risk zone in Northern California this year. The team will be attending the RE+ Conference in Las Vegas, NV next week to build commercial partnerships for Inlyte's first US factory.
