RMI Announces New CEO

Michael Potts has replaced Amory Lovins as CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), the Colorado-based nonprofit and self-described “think and do tank.” Potts has been a member of RMI’s board of trustees since 2005. He previously served as CEO of software design company American Fundware, and, most recently, as a managing partner at Galway Investments. RMI cofounder Lovins relinquished his position to become chairman and chief scientist of the 25-year-old organization, which promotes environmental responsibility through energy policy, technology research, and education.
