Jing Lyon brings a rare combination of technical depth, organizational leadership, and entrepreneurial experience to her role as Executive Director of the Ohio Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Coalition. With a background spanning clean energy, startup ecosystems, and nonprofit management, she is focused on strengthening the Coalition's voice, deepening its value to members, and positioning Ohio as a leader in the hydrogen and fuel cell economy.

Before joining OFCHC, Jing served as Interim CEO and Managing Director of BRITE Energy Innovators, where she led programs designed to accelerate the growth of clean energy startups across Northeast Ohio — connecting entrepreneurs with resources, mentorship, and industry networks that reflect the same conviction she brings to the Coalition: that Ohio has the talent, the technology, and the community to lead in the clean energy transition.

Her connection to the sector runs deep — Jing began her career as a Battery Technologist at Stratum Energy Systems, working in product and process development at the intersection of energy storage and fuel cell technology, a foundation that has informed her work ever since.

Jing holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and an MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management. She is based in Cleveland, Ohio, and also serves as an Adjunct Instructor at the Weatherhead School of Management at CWRU.
