Paul Hynes is Vice President of Utility Strategy & Industry Solutions at Noteworthy AI. Earlier in his 27-year career at a large southeastern utility, he led efforts focused on GIS data and the foundational systems utilities rely on to understand and manage their infrastructure. His work extended into hurricane restoration, where he saw firsthand how critical timely data from ground crews, aerial patrols, and satellite imagery is to safely and quickly restoring the grid.
