Tom Corle has founded G-team, a marketing and communications company serving the biofuels industry. Corle plans to use his talents in marketing and communications, combined with his knowledge of the biofuels industry and world markets, "to make a difference to the planet," a company press release said. Launching his new group of biofuels consultants gives him a chance to put it all together for clients "who want a faster track in turning biofuels green into gold." Corle was formerly director of communications and marketing for Delta-T.
Corle and his creative marketing partner Roger Moore have worked together for nearly 20 years, adding value to business and consumer brands like RCA, DuPont, Armstrong and Bostonian Shoes, as well as Delta-T. "The biggest stumbling block in developing biofuels worldwide is poor communications," Corle said. "Too many ethanol and biodiesel innovators are talking among themselves, and the conversation is confined to their little corner of the industry. Meanwhile, the world's investment dollars lie outside, and most big investors never hear all that insider conversation."
Corle said his years at Delta-T allowed him to get to know the brightest and best biofuels experts in the world. Many of those experts have joined Corle in his new venture. G-team is actually two teams that help to build biofuels businesses. A marketing team focuses on building strong brands in the biofuels industry, while the development and management team helps investors bring biodiesel and ethanol projects on line.
While expanding the technological conversation and building brands, Corle said G-team marketers will work with the planning and operation experts to bring biobased projects on line sooner. To do so, Corle has enlisted a leading expert on government permitting, business planners and biorefinery operators. "I'm ready for that challenge—to sell the next generation of technologies," Corle said. "I'm looking for visionaries who are as driven and committed as I am to a greener future for the planet—visionaries who also hold high expectations of personal gain."
