Mr. Venetos has been a consultant since 1993, specializing in the creation and use of modeling software packages to help clients solve problems. His diverse background in engineering, software, and quantitative problem solving enables him to attack and solve a broad range of business problems. At Altos since September 2001, Milton has focused on the application and use of the MarketPoint North American Regional Electric model for clients including Duke Energy, Tractebel USA, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and El Paso Energy.
Mr. Venetos began his career at Enter Software (now part of General Electric) as a mechanical engineer. At Enter, he was a key contributor to the development and use of Enter's two main software packages EfficiencyMAP, and GateCycle. Both packages were targeted for the electric power industry and were initially developed under contract to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Using GateCycle, a heat balance code for power plant simulation, he developed models for use in project proposals and in troubleshooting and identifying performance problems in the plants of clients like Bechtel, Westinghouse, General Electric, Halliburton, Southern, Duke Flour Daniel, and Utility Engineering. For EfficiencyMAP, an on-line performance monitoring system, he created power plant models and applied statistical analysis to electronically gathered plant control system data to identify quantify plant degradation. In addition to the modeling and analysis components, this work involved the development and installation of a client server software system that was used to interface a PC to many of the distributed control systems commonly used in power plants.
Mr. Venetos’ consulting engagements have spanned a broad range of industries and activities outside the energy industry as well. Mr. Venetos has also provided consulting services in the areas of product configuration software and call center management. He has helped clients like Amdahl, Cisco Systems, Lanier, and 3Com deploy systems to quote and price complex products. He has also served clients such as IBM, Ceridian, and Pitney Bowes by implementing groundbreaking skill based scheduling software and processes in their call centers.
Mr. Venetos holds a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
