Albert Morales, CFO of Malta Inc., said, “Alex brings extensive legal experience to the role, as well as deep knowledge of global energy development and financing and corporate development. His background aligns with the mission of Malta, which is to build the future of energy storage systems.”
Hernandez is an energy project development and finance attorney who comes to Malta from Macquarie Capital and, prior to that position, Sempra Energy.
