Eos Energy Enterprises Appoints Industry Veteran John Mahaz as Chief Operating Officer to Drive Next Phase of Operational Growth in American-Made Energy Storage

EDISON, N.J., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) ("Eos" or the “Company”), an American energy company and the leading innovator in designing, sourcing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) manufactured in the United States, today announced the appointment of long-time operations leader, John Mahaz, as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mahaz will lead the Company’s operations, supply chain, and manufacturing strategy as Eos enters a critical phase of commercial scale-up.

Mahaz joins Eos with more than three decades of experience in global manufacturing, operations, supply chain and business development from his tenure at Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL), a multibillion-dollar global manufacturing solutions provider. Most recently, John served as Senior Vice President of Operations for Europe and the Americas, generating more than $14 billion in annual revenue and overseeing over 70,000 employees across 30+ factories worldwide.

Recognized for his transformative leadership, Mahaz has led multiple manufacturing facilities to win the prestigious Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence. His strategic planning, disciplined execution, and ability to scale complex operations have consistently driven meaningful growth and operational efficiency.

“Achieving our growth objectives requires operational excellence,” said Joe Mastrangelo, Eos Chief Executive Officer. “John is a seasoned leader with a clear playbook for globally scaling operations. His track record across complex, high-growth environments makes him the ideal leader to help us expand our footprint, drive efficiency and meet the requirements of our growing customer base.”

Mahaz’s background spans several mission-critical industries including Defense, Aerospace, Automotive, Network Infrastructure, Data Storage, and Healthcare. Among his career accomplishments, Mahaz launched multiple production facilities and led the rebuild of manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, restoring critical production capacity.

“Eos is at the inflection point every operations leader wants to step into,” said John Mahaz, Eos Chief Operating Officer. “This company isn’t just growing—it’s striving to scale in a way that can reshape the energy storage industry. The opportunity to replicate production lines and build a global manufacturing footprint around a transformative American-made technology is exactly the kind of challenge I’m built for. I’m here to help Eos operationalize at scale, drive world-class operations, and take the company to the next level.”

Mahaz’s appointment comes as Eos enters a phase of rapid growth, scaling American-made energy storage solutions to meet the increasing demand for reliable, sustainable power.
