$HYLN Hyliion CEO Thomas Healy spent time with Palmer Luckey and Rep. Ken Calvert about a week ago, on U.S. innovation and building critical tech at home. That meeting matters now: days later, Defense Secretary Hegseth named Luckey a co-lead of the Pentagon’s Project Meridian future-of-warfare effort, alongside Elon Musk and Newt Gingrich. Hyliion is already selling power systems to the military. Over the past two years he has also met Jensen Huang, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Friedberg, Supermicro CEO Charles Liang, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Texas AG Ken Paxton. He testified before Rep. John Carter and Ranking Member Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and met Gov. Greg Abbott in May 2024. @ThomasHealyCEO $BE

The $HYLN executive hire most investors haven't noticed: Chief Commercial Officer Govi Ramasamy spent 17 years at Cummins — one of the world's largest power generation companies. His final role there: Head of Global Datacenter Business — Cummins' fastest growing and largest business segment. He was responsible for the full value chain: engineering, sales, project delivery, and aftersales support for a demanding data center customer base globally. He also led business entities across China, the Middle East, and North America. Hyliion didn't just hire a CCO. They hired the person who ran data center power at the world's most established generator company — and put him in charge of growing KARNO. When your commercial lead is the former head of Cummins' data center business, the sales execution risk looks very different.
