Milburn to Help Scale Nation’s Most Reliable EV Charging Network through Hypergrowth

EVPassport, the most reliable EV charging network in the United States, has appointed Mike Milburn to its Board of Directors. Milburn previously served as the Chief Customer Officer at Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE: CRM) and brings over 20 years of experience in leadership positions specializing in SaaS, growth, and innovation. As an Independent Board Director, Milburn will support the company’s ability to scale operations to fuel the next phase of hypergrowth.

The appointment comes at a time of rapid growth for EVPassport. In October 2023, the company received a $200 million investment to accelerate the build-out of its end-to-end EV charging solution. EVPassport utilizes an innovative business model that allows for charging infrastructure to be installed under an infrastructure-as-a-service (“IaaS”) model, supporting its client base with turnkey solutions. This contractual framework is paired with an advanced technology platform that prioritizes the customer experience through high reliability, open API integrations, and an app-less charging experience. Since EVPassport’s inception in 2020, the company has scaled its network across 35 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. It has deployed thousands of chargers, serving over 500 enterprise customers, primarily focusing on the multi-family, hospitality, and retail sectors, while delivering a 99.97% uptime.

“Mike is an incredibly valuable addition to the EVPassport Board of Directors as we accelerate growth amidst increasing global demand for our market-leading electric vehicle charging platform,” said Hooman Shahidi, co-founder and CEO of EVPassport. “His leadership and expertise in integrating software services and infrastructure to improve the customer journey will play a key role on our board as we continue our mission to build the most reliable and easy-to-use EV charging network.”

Milburn is an Executive Partner at Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”), a premier private equity firm investing in middle-market growth companies. Prior to joining THL, Milburn co-founded Pimly and served as the President of Salsify and Chief Customer Officer at Salesforce, where he drove customer success programs for some of the largest SaaS customers. He was on the founding team for Salesforce Service Cloud and led the entry into the field service market, ultimately ending in Salesforce’s acquisition of Click Software. In addition to EVPassport, Milburn sits on the Board of Directors for Cadalys and Swantide. Previously, he sat on the Board of Directors for Samanage (now SolarWinds Corp; NYSE: SWI) and OnProcess, part of Accenture (NYSE: ACN). Milburn’s Advisory Board roles include ScreenMeet, Data.world, Replicant and CIPIO.ai.

“EVPassport is bringing an innovative approach to EV charging that the world needs. Hooman and the team are giving wider, broader access to EV charging and opening the APIs to allow individuals and businesses to participate in this incredible flow of data across the network,” said Milburn. “This integration of the product and services is something we did at Salesforce because the modern world demands it. From a growth and transformational perspective, EVPassport has an incredible opportunity to lead the market into the future. Joining EVPassport’s Board of Directors allows me to bring my network together with EVPassport’s to help build critical infrastructure for the United States. From the investment thesis, the ability to democratize and transform EV charging is a very rare and unique opportunity, and I could not be more excited about that.”
