ABC Energy Management Team

Mark Lakness, CEO & Co-Founder

Mark Lakness, CEO and co-founder of ABC Energy, embodies a passion for energy efficiency and sustainability. With a hands-on approach to environmental stewardship, he has personally contributed to reducing carbon footprints by installing LED light bulbs in struggling businesses, an effort equivalent to the environmental benefit of over a million trees planted. His journey in the energy sector began in 2009, and by 2013, alongside Tiffany Lakness, he launched ABC Energy, setting a precedent for innovation and commitment to affordable, transparent energy solutions.

Tiffany Lakness, CFO & Co-Founder

Tiffany Lakness, co-founder and CFO, has been instrumental in ABC Energy's rise from a humble basement office in White Plains, NY, to a leading full-service energy brokerage and ESCO. Her leadership and financial acumen have not only earned her the CFO of the Year award but have also positioned ABC Energy as a trailblazer in offering guaranteed annual savings to Con Edison’s mass market natural gas customers and introducing transparent, accessible energy pricing tools in partnership with Great American Gas & Electric.

Joseph John Nicoletti III, Sales Manager

Joseph John Nicoletti III, a distinguished Pace University graduate, has been with ABC Energy for nearly a decade, showcasing exceptional management skills and a deep understanding of the energy market. His leadership was instrumental in transitioning ABC Energy to a fully remote workplace during the pandemic, increasing employee compensation and flexibility while simultaneously reducing customer margins to make energy as affordable as possible amidst unpredictable market spikes. His dedication to both team and customer well-being exemplifies the company's core values of transparency, efficiency, and sustainability.

Pioneering a Sustainable Future

In May 2013, Mark and Tiffany Lakness, then only 27 years old, embarked on a journey to revolutionize the energy sector by launching ABC Energy. Their ambition was not just to create another energy company but to innovate and introduce technology and transparency to a new generation of energy users. This vision has led to significant environmental contributions, notably through the LED Lighting Program, which has installed hundreds of thousands of LED bulbs, achieving carbon reductions equivalent to planting over a million trees.
