Under his leadership, Hyliion acquired Gentherm’s battery division to fuel its ongoing innovation in hybrid electric technology and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in October 2020.

A serial entrepreneur, Healy founded two prior startups and was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2017. He is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a dual bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and public policy.
