PITTSBURGH, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) ("Eos" or the “Company”), an American energy company and the leading innovator in designing, sourcing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS), today announced the appointment of Nathaniel (Nate) Fick to its Board of Directors as an independent Common Class III director, effective March 24, 2026.

Fick brings extensive leadership experience spanning national security, technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), and complex infrastructure—capabilities increasingly relevant as energy storage becomes embedded in critical grid operations.

Fick currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer for Equities and Senior Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management. Before his current role, Fick served as the inaugural U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Cyberspace & Digital Policy from 2023-2025, where he led U.S. international engagement on cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies. Prior to his government service, he was Chief Executive Officer of cybersecurity company Endgame and oversaw its integration into Elastic following its acquisition. He has also served as an operating partner at Bessemer Venture Partners for eight years.

Earlier in his career, Fick served as a U.S. Marine Corps infantry and reconnaissance officer, including combat deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, and is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir One Bullet Away.

“Board composition matters, particularly as Eos continues to operate in increasingly complex and high‑consequence operating environments,” said Joe Nigro, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Nate’s experience in national security, cybersecurity and AI, technology leadership, and infrastructure‑centric organizations adds meaningful depth to the Board. His perspective will support rigorous oversight, informed decision‑making, and strong governance as the Company continues to execute its strategy.”

“Nate has operated in environments where performance, resilience, and execution are required under real‑world constraints,” said Joe Mastrangelo, Eos Chief Executive Officer. “As Eos continues to scale and execute against long‑term customer commitments, delivering infrastructure reliably and securely becomes increasingly critical. His experience leading through complexity and mission‑critical systems strengthens the Board’s ability to guide the Company through its next phase of growth and execution.”

“Energy infrastructure is increasingly digital, interconnected, and consequential,” said Fick. “Eos is focused on building systems designed for durability and performance at scale. I look forward to supporting the Board and management team as they work to strengthen grid reliability and execute on the Company’s long-term strategy.”
