Approach
GridSphere was built on the belief that real grid modernization doesn't come from more tools. It comes from better alignment.
We tell the truth, even when it's uncomfortable.
We understand how field realities, business priorities, and vendor narratives collide — and we know when to challenge what doesn't make sense. Long-term outcomes are worth more than short-term milestones, and we'd rather flag a problem early than help paper over one until go-live. That's the work. That's the whole job.
System fluency meets operational empathy.
From network model design to field readiness, we bring a rare mix: the technical depth to understand your stack, and the operational experience to know what actually happens when those systems meet a truck, a crew, and a storm. We act as your second set of eyes — your strategic filter, your translator across silos, and an advocate for outcomes that hold up after the consultants leave.
Aya Lakkis
Founder & PrincipalGridSphere was founded by Aya Lakkis, a utility consultant with nearly a decade of experience supporting electric and gas utilities through digital grid transformation, ADMS implementations, GIS modernization, and field mobility programs.
Her background spans the full delivery arc — from configuring systems in test environments to standing with field crews during outage events, to presenting program risk to executive leadership. She holds a graduate certificate in Geospatial Intelligence from Johns Hopkins University and has led work across data quality, network model readiness, integration testing, and operational rollout.
She founded GridSphere on a simple premise: the gap between what utility systems claim and what utility crews experience is where most modernization programs quietly fail — and closing that gap is a discipline, not an accident.
