InductEV names Wroe, Managing Director, International Ports

Following the recent opening and staffing of its Long Beach, CA office, InductEV has deepened its bench of veteran port and logistics industry executives with the addition of James Wroe, its first Managing Director of International Ports. Wroe will play a pivotal role in growing the footprint of InductEV’s high-power wireless vehicle charging technology across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Wroe, a Brit, will be based in The Hague, Netherlands. He previously spent two decades with Maersk and P&O Nedlloyd in Europe and Asia leading teams across operations, transformation, and technology. Most recently, he led a multi-billion-dollar global port expansion & technology program for APM Terminals in The Netherlands and, prior to that, served as COO for Maersk in Asia Pacific based in Singapore.

“We are more than pleased to have James join our esteemed team of ports and intermodal freight specialists,” said M. David Dealy, President and Chief Commercial Officer. “His ample talents and experience in overseas markets will serve us well in meeting the growing international interest we’re receiving in our wireless solution.”

Wroe joins InductEV alongside other seasoned executives from the port and logistics industries including Samantha Galltin, EVP, Commercial Operations, Gregory White, Chief Revenue Officer, Weston LaBar, Chief Logistics Officer, and Roquita Coleman-Williams, SVP for Enterprise Sales.

“Having worked in this industry for more than two decades, I have never been more impressed by the transformational promise InductEV’s wireless technology holds for port and freight operators,” added Mr. Wroe. “As terminals accelerate fleet electrification, InductEV’s solution arrives at a most propitious time.”

InductEV holds 20 patents with another 23 pending for its wireless inductive technology. Its AI-managed, high-power solution lets vehicles charge while on-route (as well as in-depot). This proven model offers tremendous environmental, economic, and operational advantages over diesel-fueled freight and transit vehicles and traditional conductive (plug-in) EV charging models. To date, the company has delivered over 3 GWh of energy to customers across the U.S. and the EU through its wireless charging network - the equivalent of saving 650 metric tons of CO2.
