Joseph Nigro

Joseph Nigro is a roughly 33-year veteran of the energy industry. He served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Exelon Corporation from May 2018 to October 2022, and then as an advisor to the Exelon CEO until March 31, 2023. As CFO, he oversaw all financial activities of the company — capital investment, financial reporting, planning, audit, tax, insurance, treasury/financing, and investor relations — sat on Exelon's Executive Committee, and chaired the company's Corporate Investment Committee. He was succeeded as Exelon CFO by Jeanne Jones.

Before becoming CFO, Nigro was Chief Executive Officer of Constellation (then an Exelon competitive-energy operating division) from 2013 to 2018, where he led the commercial and retail energy business. Earlier he served as senior vice president for portfolio strategy at Constellation and held a series of portfolio-management and trading-strategy roles across Exelon's power teams after joining the company's PECO/PECO Power Team operations in 1996. Prior to Exelon, he spent seven years at Phibro Energy, Inc., an independent oil trading and refining company based in Greenwich, Conn., and Houston.

Nigro holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Connecticut and completed executive-education programs at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, the University of Chicago, and MIT (including the MIT Reactor Technology program for utility executives).

Since leaving Exelon, Nigro has built a portfolio of board and advisory roles in the energy sector: he is a director of Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: TLN), a senior advisor to Blackstone's energy transition practice, a board member of Kindle Energy (a power-generation assets portfolio company), and, as of March 26, 2025, a director of Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ: EOSE), a long-duration energy-storage manufacturer. Important accuracy note: the stub data supplied for this profile described him as an "Angel Investor" writing "Seed Round" checks. No credible source supports that. Nigro's documented activity is that of a corporate finance executive and board director/advisor, not an angel or seed-stage venture investor. (A separate individual named "Joe Nigro" who appears as a startup mentor/investor on the Hypothesis platform is a different person and should not be conflated with the Exelon CFO.)

• This individual is not a documented angel/seed investor. Treat the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" label from the stub as unverified and most likely erroneous.
• His actual capital-and-strategy involvement is through corporate board seats and senior advisory roles, concentrated entirely in energy, utilities, power generation, and the energy transition (including long-duration storage via Eos).
• His profile reflects deep expertise in energy trading, portfolio strategy, project/capital investment, corporate finance, and financing of large-scale generation assets — the lens through which he evaluates companies as a director/advisor.
• Through his Blackstone energy-transition advisory role and Kindle Energy board seat, his exposure to private capital is at the private-equity / large-cap infrastructure end of the spectrum, not early-stage venture.
