I’m Shawn Cutter—founder, CEO, and unapologetically unhinged technologist (in the best way). My mission? To fix the broken food, energy, and water systems that underpin our future. I lead EnergiAcres, where we fuse renewable energy, data centers, AI, and controlled-environment agriculture to build resilient infrastructure from the ground up.
My background:
- 20+ years at the intersection of cloud, AI, mobile, and edge computing (sometimes all at once)
- Serial entrepreneur with deep roots in both energy (6 generations in oil, gas, and farming) and high-growth tech startups
- Systems thinker, collaborator, and team builder obsessed with group flow, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement
Why I’m here:
I’m looking to connect with like-minded folks who:
- Use Smartsheet to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects (think: gigawatt-scale power, next-gen agtech, or high-stakes ops)
- Want to swap tips on scaling process automation, data integration, and real-time visibility
- Believe that technology should solve real-world problems and drive measurable, positive impact
How I use Smartsheet:
- Workflow orchestration for multi-site energy & infrastructure builds
- Executive dashboards for real-time status, KPIs, and cross-team alignment
- Automated tracking for regulatory, compliance, and incentive programs
- Knowledge management and playbook development to accelerate onboarding and decision-making
If you’re passionate about building better systems and aren’t afraid to question the status quo, let’s connect and share best practices. Bonus points if you like diving deep on first-principles thinking and aren’t shy about radical transparency.
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” — George Bernard Shaw
Onward,
Shawn Cutter | Founder/CEO, EnergiAcres
