Wilson Rickerson, President and Co-Founder, Converge Strategies

Wilson Rickerson is the President and Co-Founder of Converge Strategies, where he leads efforts to safeguard the energy systems that underpin America’s security and economy. He works with the military, state and local leaders, utilities, and emergency managers to confront a rising set of risks — from cyber threats and extreme weather to aging infrastructure and geopolitical shocks.

Wilson has pioneered new models for cross-sector coordination and directed award-winning collaborations with national laboratories. He has supported resilience planning with more than 100 military installations, helping communities anticipate and respond to energy-security challenges before they become crises. His playbooks and toolkits are now used nationwide to guide leaders through complex decisions with confidence and clarity.

Before co-founding Converge Strategies, Wilson served as CEO of Meister Consultants Group, where he helped shape energy and resilience strategies in all 50 states and advised national governments in more than 40 countries. That experience reinforced a central lesson: resilient systems depend not only on technology, but on people and institutions communicating, planning, and working in concert. A skilled facilitator, he has led stakeholder processes involving hundreds of organizations focused on energy policy, community resilience, energy security, and critical infrastructure.

Wilson holds a master’s degree in Energy and Environmental Policy from the University of Delaware and a B.A. from the College of William & Mary. In earlier chapters of his life, he was the lead singer of several D.C.-based ska bands — and once lost on Jeopardy.
