Eos Energy Enterprises Appoints Cybersecurity and Software Leader Haiyan Song to Board of Directors, Names Marie Martin Chief Legal Officer in Planned Transition
Song brings deep technology, cybersecurity, software, edge computing, and digital infrastructure expertise as Eos scales American-made energy storage for an increasingly complex grid
Pittsburgh-based Martin brings two decades of legal and governance leadership at global industrial companies to strengthen Eos’ foundation as it scales U.S. manufacturing and commercial deployment
PITTSBURGH, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:EOSE) ("Eos" or the "Company"), America’s leading innovator in designing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems sourced and manufactured in the United States, today announced the appointment of Haiyan Song to its Board of Directors and a planned leadership transition of the Company’s Chief Legal Officer.
The announcements come as Eos scales U.S. manufacturing and accelerates commercial deployments. The Company is building the technology, talent, and governance foundation to lead in an energy storage market being reshaped by surging electricity demand, tightening grid constraints, and the growing role of data, software, and cybersecurity in how storage systems are built, secured and operated.
Board Appointment
Song brings more than three decades leading software, cloud, cybersecurity, data, and enterprise technology businesses, most recently as Executive Vice President of NetApp’s CloudOps business, with prior senior leadership roles at F5, Splunk and Hewlett Packard Enterprise spanning product, engineering, cloud, cybersecurity and go-to-market functions at global scale. She also brings public and private board experience through her service on the boards of CSG and Kodiak Solutions.
Her appointment will strengthen Eos’ software, data, and cybersecurity strategy. Song’s software and edge computing expertise will support Eos as storage systems increasingly operate as intelligent assets at the grid edge, processing data and making operating decisions closer to where power is stored and delivered through platforms like the Company’s DawnOS™ operating system.
"Eos has built a differentiated energy storage platform backed by strong technology and manufacturing capabilities in a market that is becoming increasingly important to the future of American energy infrastructure," said Song. "As energy storage systems continue to evolve, software, data and analytics will play a larger role in performance, operations and customer experience. I look forward to working with the Board and leadership team as Eos executes its strategy."
"Haiyan brings proven cybersecurity, cloud and software expertise to our Board," said Joe Nigro, Chairman of the Board. "Her perspective complements the manufacturing, industrial and energy expertise already on our Board, and will directly strengthen how we build, secure and operate our platform as Eos scales."
As part of the Board transition, Greg Nixon has elected to step down from his role as a preferred stock director. Nate Fick, who joined the Board in March 2026, will transition from his independent director seat to the preferred stock director seat. Song will join the Board as an independent director, filling the seat vacated by Fick, effective July 9, 2026. Following these changes, the size of the Board, the number of independent directors, and the number of preferred stock directors remain unchanged.
"Greg has been a respected colleague and valued contributor to the Board, and we are grateful for his service," added Nigro. "His insight and commitment helped guide Eos through a period of significant manufacturing expansion and governance advancement. He helped build a strong and enduring foundation for the Company’s partnership with Cerberus that carries forward as Nate assumes the preferred stock director seat."
"I’ve watched Eos transform into a company built to lead in this industry, and it’s been rewarding to be part of that progress," said Nixon. "Eos has gone from a company proving out its technology to one manufacturing at scale in the U.S. That’s a hard transition to make, and this team has made it."
Chief Legal Officer Transition
Eos also announced the appointment of Marie Batz Martin as Chief Legal Officer effective July 13, 2026, bringing more than 20 years of legal, compliance and corporate governance leadership at global industrial and manufacturing companies to a business moving fast on multiple fronts. Michael Silberman, Eos’ current Chief Legal Officer, will remain with the Company as a non-executive employee through September 11, 2026, in support of the planned smooth transition.
Martin most recently served as Global Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer at Coherent Corp., where she led global compliance programs and business integration across a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. She previously served as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer at FlightSafety International, and spent more than a decade at Alcoa and Arconic advising executive leadership on strategic transactions, regulatory matters, and large-scale manufacturing initiatives.
"Marie has built high-performing teams and advised complex global businesses through periods of growth and operational change," said Joe Mastrangelo, Eos Chief Executive Officer. "She brings the legal expertise, judgment, and public-company experience Eos needs as we execute our strategy and scale the business."
"What stands out about Eos is its pace of execution and the opportunity to help build a company at a defining stage of growth," said Martin. "I’m looking forward to partnering across the business to keep that momentum building."
Silberman leaves after steering Eos’ legal organization through a pivotal period, helping execute several of the Company’s most important strategic, financing, and operational initiatives, including procuring the U.S. Department of Energy loan, securing the Cerberus Capital Management LP strategic investment, and launching Frontier Power USA. His leadership and counsel helped strengthen the Company’s foundation and position Eos for its current phase of commercial and operational execution.
"It has been a privilege to be part of Eos’ journey through several pivotal years," said Silberman. "I have tremendous confidence in the Company’s future and believe in the value of having legal leadership based in Pittsburgh to be closely connected to the business and its operations."
"We thank Michael for his leadership, partnership, and significant contributions to Eos over the years," added Mastrangelo. "His counsel and commitment were pivotal in guiding the Company through an important chapter in our evolution, and we are grateful for his dedicated service and lasting impact. We wish Michael and his family all the best in this next chapter."
