Jay Holman
Partner
Jay joined MRA in 2023, over 25 years after starting his career as a physicist developing micro-optic devices for the telecom industry. After a brief stint in telecom equipment manufacturing, he spent the past 20 years carrying out market research, primarily in the energy industry. His introduction to market research came at IDC, where he surveyed consumers on behalf of electric utilities, and became the lead analyst on the Solar Energy Strategies Research Program. Later, as an independent consultant, Jay helped battery related startups refine their go-to-market strategies. During this time he also sub-contracted to large research firms, developing case study reports on how electric utilities manage energy storage and renewable energy resources on their grids, among a variety of other topics. Jay lives in Colorado, where you can find him enduro mountain biking, tree skiing, and hiking to alpine lakes with his wife and son. He earned a BA in Physics from Colgate University, an MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, and an MBA from MIT’s Sloan School of Management.
