“I’ve worked with members of Plexos in various capacities and programs throughout my career,” LeBlanc said. “I’m confident in our ability to provide the local resources and knowledge communities need to execute successful projects with lasting social and economic impact.”
Notably, LeBlanc served as program manager of the $1.7 Billion FEMA Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP) program in Puerto Rico following hurricanes Irma and Maria.
