Principal, JP Consulting
EIR 2023-2025
Jack Peurach (B.S. Mechanical Engineering, ‘87) started his engineering journey at Berkeley Process Control in 1990, eventually heading their engineering team. He transitioned into management consulting at Mercer, helping tech firms plan for growth. In 2004, Peurach took a leap into the green energy sector, joining PowerLight as VP of Products. When PowerLight merged with SunPower in 2007, it quickly became a global name in solar energy, and Jack rose to be the Executive VP. Simultaneously, he co-founded Ekso Bionics, a pioneering firm in wearable exoskeletons. In 2018, he became Ekso's CEO, holding that role until 2022. Jack is a triple threat academically: he has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State, an M.S. in the same field from UC Berkeley, and an M.B.A. from the Wharton Business School.
