“I am very honored to be lending my experience to EMPEQ as they seek to reshape the HVAC and energy industry through AI,” said Fraser. “As a serial tech entrepreneur and Air Force veteran, I am excited to lend my expertise to fellow tech entrepreneurs and military service members, especially one like EMPEQ that is transforming their industry.”

In his new role, Michael will be lending his years of cybersecurity and tech development experience to the EMPEQ team, providing valuable insights on cybersecurity, business development, and emerging technologies.
