Remember Gary Bloom? The former enterprise software executive who made his mark at both Oracle and Veritas? Well, now he’s aiming to make smart meters even smarter. Bloom recently caught up with my SmartPlanet colleague Deborah Gage. Find out why he believes we can solve the inefficiencies of the electric grid with software, why consumers have got it “way wrong” when it comes to smart meters, and how his company, eMeter, plans to turn around their smart grid perceptions.

Disclosure
Heather Clancy
Writing publicly about what the high-tech industry is actually doing to help itself and the world get greener or more sustainable is one way I figure I can contribute more meaningfully to said effort. I am also a big OMG-kind-of-fan of smart leadership, which is why the goodly folks who publish this blog let me go on about this topic and why I am always on the hunt for forward-looking business management ideas.
My daily writing is focused on looking for topics for my blogs, GreenTech Pastures and Business Brains. I also write often about emerging technology trends such as mobile computing, unified communications and cloud computing. Occasionally, I will pop up at an industry conference in some sort of speaking capacity. In cases where a speaking engagement involves a sponsor that may be covered in this blog, that fact will be disclosed in coverage as appropriate.
My corporate writing work usually consists of crafting research white papers about some aspect of technology. In the event that my commentary (in written, audio or video form) mentions a company for which I have provided consulting advice, I will disclose that fact. However, there is no connection between these projects and the topics that I am covering in my blog.
