Hi there! I’m Ray Ghorani
I’m a hardcore electrical engineer, two-time entrepreneur, and immigrant to Canada with a PhD in Electrical Engineering and a passion for solving challenging problems. I’ve scaled a business to $1M in annual revenue and successfully navigated an exit. Today, I’m on a mission to create solutions that make the world a better place for ordinary people.
Quick Facts
About me
Studied Electrical Engineering
I’ve spent 11 years studying electrical engineering earning a PhD in power systems. During my PhD, I focused on large-scale electricity market simulations and developing optimal bidding strategies for market participants. During my MSc, I worked on bulk system reliability studies and analyzed how contingencies impact transmission operations.
Currently Working as Energy Market Manager
As Energy Market Manager at Edgecom Energy, I currently manage 70 MW of demand response across Ontario in the IESO market, ensuring smooth operations and efficient delivery of $14 M in annual revenue. I work closely with large electricity customers, helping them unlock the value of their demand flexibility and save up to $200k per MW each year.
7+ Years of Power System Consulting
I’ve spent over 7 years consulting in power systems, working with distribution companies, transmission operators, and ISOs. Most of my work has focused on bulk power system reliability studies, maintenance planning using a reliability-centered approach, and modeling how different contingencies affect system operations using tools like PSS®E and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
6+ Years of Battery & Power Electronics Experience
As CTO of the largest e-bike manufacturer in the Middle East, I led battery and power electronics development and stayed hands-on with Li-ion battery packs, chargers, BLDC motor controllers, and power converter modeling in PSCAD. These designs are now used in 10,000+ e-bikes, totaling over 5 MWh of battery capacity.
Two-Time Entrepreneur
I founded and scaled two startups—one resulting in a successful exit—in power system consulting and e-bike manufacturing, achieving $1M+ in annual revenue. This experience shaped my strong business mindset and ability to operate in high-growth, execution-driven environments.
Tech-Savvy & Ambitious Immigrant
I’m an immigrant with a background in business and engineering, on a mission to build something meaningful that makes the world a better place for ordinary people. So don’t be surprised if one day you see me on the cover of a magazine!
