Her distinguished tenure as the Manager of Air Quality Practices for the Port of Long Beach, where she managed and secured nearly $100 million in advanced technology grants and oversaw a $65 million Community Grants Program, underscores her caliber and fit for this position.

I look forward to positioning Momentum as a leader in global goods movement decarbonization.”

In her role as Director of Ports, Moilanen will be pivotal in enhancing Momentum's strategic planning, fund development, and project management for forward thinking companies and organizations, especially in the realm of demonstrating and deploying zero-emission port equipment and innovations. Her deep experience working with regulatory bodies, industry associations, and community groups, alongside her unparalleled knowledge in maritime operations and zero-emission technology advancement, will prove invaluable to accelerating the capacity of Momentum clients to meet technology and efficiency goals.
