Sean Nichols

Sean Nichols is intensely passionate about things, especially when it comes to batteries and bikes.
Every successful team needs someone like Nichols: he is sharp, dependable, and has a super-human work ethic. After gaining some of the most valuable customer-facing experience working in the mobile phone industry, Nichols moved on to working extensively with off-grid power systems as the Vice President of Sales & Operations at a major power inverter company.
As Nichols worked to position that company as a world leader in inverter technologies, he simultaneously began pursuing his MBA at University of Nevada, Reno. There, he met Denis Phares, and the duo set about building Dragonfly Energy, a company that would eventually disrupt the entire energy storage consumer market.
As Chief Operating Officer at Dragonfly Energy, Nichols oversees all aspects of daily operations including manufacturing, marketing, and human resources to keep the ship sailing smoothly.
He is devoted to the mission of advancing lithium battery technology, and is credited with coining the phrase “Lead is Dead.” Nichols is also credited with leading one of the most original and ground-breaking marketing campaigns in energy storage for their flagship product line, Battle Born Batteries, and continues to wage war on the lead-acid batteries market.
But if you think that’s intense, you should really see his bike collection.
