WEIRTON, W.Va., Nov. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Form Energy, Inc. ("Form Energy" or the "Company"), an American technology company developing and commercializing a new class of cost-effective, multi-day energy storage systems, today announced the appointment of two new members of its Board of Directors (the "Board"): Lori Goler, President of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and former Chief People Officer at Meta, and Jon McNeill, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of DVx Ventures and former executive at Tesla and Lyft. Both bring a proven track record of building and scaling innovative businesses.
"Lori and Jon have each led organizations through critical periods of rapid growth and I am pleased to welcome them to the Board," said Mateo Jaramillo, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Form Energy. "Lori spent 16 years at Meta building a global workforce and culture, and as our team grows, that experience will be invaluable. Jon has scaled operations, sales, and delivery at Tesla and Lyft, which is just what we need as we continue to ramp production and deploy iron-air batteries to customers across the United States and internationally. Their perspectives will guide how we grow, and I'm looking forward to working closely with both."
The Board announcement follows a period of financial and commercial progress for Form Energy. In August 2026, the Company closed $750 million Series G financing, and in September 2026, it closed a $270 million credit facility to fund continued manufacturing scale-up and working capital needs as it builds out its iron-air battery systems at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, West Virginia.
