Simeon Chow
Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Chow brings over 30 years of experience spanning mechanical engineering, logistics, transportation, and energy technology commercialization to his role as CEO of Alléo Energy. A mechanical engineer by training, he began his career at the Boeing Corporation before holding positions at United Parcel Service and Con-Way Freight, where he developed deep expertise in industrial operations and large-scale logistics systems. He also founded Global Link One, Inc., a logistics consulting firm through which he advised companies on supply chain optimization and operational efficiency.
Approximately 15 years ago, Mr. Chow turned his attention to the commercialization of biomass conversion technology — a pursuit that ultimately led to the co-founding of Alléo Energy and the development of its proprietary Max-H₂ Plus bio-reforming process.
Under Mr. Chow's leadership, Alléo has brought its first commercial facility in Bay Minette, Alabama, from concept through full operational status, representing over $50 million in capital investment. The facility has been developed and optimized to produce a suite of high value products including syngas, hydrogen, RNG, high-grade carbon products, and independently certified D975-compliant renewable diesel, all from wood waste and residues. Mr. Chow has led the company's expansion strategy, including site development negotiations for facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and has cultivated strategic partnerships with industrial offtakers and technology partners.
Mr. Chow received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, and an MBA from the University of Southern California.

Tim Adkins
Chief Financial Officer
Mr. Adkins is Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer of Alléo Energy, where he has led the company's financial strategy and capital formation since inception. Under his leadership, particularly in finance and deal structuring, Alléo as a company has been built from ground up, with a first facility in Bay Minette, Alabama, now operational and a multi-site expansion pipeline spanning numerous states and regions on the horizon. Mr. Adkins has structured the company's capital raises — including most recently a current $7M SAFE offering backed by an independent valuation of $241.8M — and negotiated strategic partnerships for hydrogen offtake, biochar supply, and co-located feedstock sourcing with publicly traded industry leaders. He oversees Alléo's financial modeling across all sites and revenue streams, including green hydrogen, biochar, and renewable natural gas.
Prior to Alléo, Mr. Adkins built a 25-year career in structured finance, private equity, and risk management. He served as Managing Principal and Founder of a real estate private equity firm in Austin, Texas, and as a Registered Principal at an investment banking firm focused on private placements in energy, life sciences, and technology, where he was recognized as a top-5% producer. Since 2005, he has served on the advisory board of a clinical-stage private life sciences company, for which he negotiated and raised over $15 million through challenging market conditions. Over the course of his career, Mr. Adkins has structured, negotiated, and raised more than $100 million in private equity — and significantly more in debt — serving as fiduciary and general partner for multiple investment partnerships. He began his career in financial services at Bank of America and Tax & Financial Group.
Mr. Adkins holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Irvine.

Matthew Wilde
Chief Relationship Officer
Mr. Wilde brings over 25 years of experience in project management, real estate development, and large-scale construction oversight to his role at Alléo Energy. As Chief Operating Officer, he has led the acquisition and build-out of the company's first commercial biomass conversion facility in Bay Minette, Alabama — a multi-year effort encompassing site selection, design, project financing, construction management, and commissioning of operations.
Throughout his career, Mr. Wilde has been directly involved in all phases of the project development cycle — from assembly, acquisition, and design through financing, construction, and ongoing operations — on real estate transactions totaling over $350 million. His expertise in managing complex, capital-intensive development projects has been instrumental in transforming the Bay Minette facility from an underutilized biomass plant acquired in 2020 into a fully operational commercial conversion facility representing over $50 million in capital investment.
Mr. Wilde currently oversees day-to-day operations and facility expansion planning, including site development efforts for Alléo's planned facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. His hands-on management approach and deep familiarity with every aspect of the Bay Minette operation ensure continuity and operational excellence as the company scales its platform through replication.
Mr. Wilde received his bachelor's degree in Construction Management and Real Estate Finance from Washington State University.

Don Becker
Cheif Operating Officer
Mr. Becker is an accomplished executive with 35+ years of leadership, driving rapid, profitable growth in the chemical industry, technology/software, semi-conductor and satellite manufacturing, and services companies—from startups to Fortune 500. As COO/CFO of Berryman Smith, LLC (2015–2024), Mr. Becker led seven operating companies in chemicals and industrial services, delivering 5× enterprise growth in seven years. He transformed an internal division into a standalone profit center with 3× revenue, built the executive team and board, implemented modern financial/ERP systems, improved numerous processes, cut costs by hundreds of thousands annually, and executed $13M+ in capital projects now generating seven-figure recurring revenue.
Previously, he co-founded and scaled ServerGraph (enterprise backup monitoring solution) at a 62% CAGR over five years, secured a global IBM reseller agreement, and led a successful exit to Rocket Software. Post-acquisition, he ran the business unit and delivered 42% above-quota results.
Earlier roles include executive, sales, business management and alliance leadership at Cristie Software, BMC Software, Siemens, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, consistently exceeding targets and managing P&Ls up to $300M.
Mr. Becker serves on several boards. Mr. Becker is a veteran who served in the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Organization (Top Secret/SBI clearance 16 years) and has a bachelor's degree in business from California Lutheran University.

Ray Fletcher
Chief Technology Officer
Mr. Fletcher is Chief Technology Officer of Alléo Energy, where he leads the engineering and process design of the company's proprietary Max-H₂ Plus biomass reforming technology. Mr. Fletcher led the team that architected the successful reactor system and process parameters that enable Alléo to produce green hydrogen in a manner cost-competitive with fossil-derived gray hydrogen while achieving a carbon-negative lifecycle.
Mr. Fletcher brings over 35 years of industrial experience in chemical engineering, refinery operations, and process optimization. He began his career as a Process Engineer at Shell before joining Texaco, where he spent nearly six years working across multiple refinery process units including fluid catalytic cracking, reforming, hydrotreating, alkylation, and catalytic polymerization. He subsequently served as Global Technical Service and Development Manager at Albemarle Corporation in the Netherlands for nearly 16 years, leading global technical service and catalyst development. Mr. Fletcher then joined Johnson Matthey as Senior Technologist, serving as an FCC technical expert for five years.
