Kelly Owen Grover, EV and Clean Energy Marketing Leader
Prior to joining EVerged, Grover was CMO at Lynkwell. Lynkwell is a full-stack energy management and EV charging platform spanning hardware, software, and services. Grover was the company’s first executive leader responsible for marketing, go-to-market, and product management strategy and execution.
In this role, Grover served as the primary architect of company strategy and annual operating planning, driving rapid growth and organizational scale.

The role included direct leadership of marketing and product management teams, ownership of new product introduction, SIOP and demand planning, product family architecture, trademark strategy, privacy governance, and crisis communications. Grover built Lynkwell’s first channel strategy and led all campaign development, aligning sales and marketing through defined SLAs, processes, training, and performance tracking.
More than 15 hardware, software, and service offerings were commercialized end-to-end by Grover, including GTM strategy, pricing, positioning, IP, messaging, assets, and enablement. The work also included consolidation of three business-unit brands, a full corporate rebrand and website launch that won a Gold Houston AAF Addy Award, and implementation of HubSpot CRM with ERP integration. A complete GTM technology stack was deployed, covering automation, analytics, SEO, paid and organic media, lead scoring, and integrated webinars.
Prior to Lynkwell, Grover was the first global marketing executive in Cloverly, a hyper-growth clean-tech start-up, managing both marketing and business development teams.
