Twenty-five years before Michael Polsky would become the CEO of Invenergy, he came to the U.S. from Ukraine with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, $500 in cash and four suitcases of belongings. He co-founded his first company, Indeck Energy Services, in 1985.
Five years later, Polsky founded SkyGen Energy, where he met Jim Murphy, Invenergy's future president and co-founder. The two assembled the remainder of Invenergy's eight-person founding team and started accelerating the delivery of cleaner, more reliable, affordable energy.
