Peter Mastic Named CEO of National Wind

Steinberg commented: “Peter joined National Wind three months ago following a national search I initiated and led earlier in the year. Since joining us, Peter has demonstrated a masterful ability to deal with the challenges of the wind energy industry, and I feel comfortable transitioning out of this role knowing the company is in good hands. His proven success in developing large-scale wind power projects across the country will enable National Wind to reach its full potential moving forward.”
