Our Vision

Dynamic Distributed Environments

We envision a future where critical infrastructure is decentralized, intelligent, and secure – powered by IoT devices and protected at every node by adaptive, zero trust cybersecurity. In this  future, critical systems aren’t just resilient – they’re responsive to real-time data, and capable of  orchestrating millions of edge devices without sacrificing trust. 

This vision resonates across the energy sector. Solitude Labs collaborates with innovative utilities, premier national laboratories, and leading research institutions like EPRI to build the secure foundation for next-generation infrastructure. Our zero-trust approach addresses critical gaps that industry leaders recognize as essential for grid modernization—protecting distributed assets while enabling the orchestration and responsiveness of assets that will define tomorrow’s grid. We’re now expanding our reach to U.S. government agencies and allied nations, ensuring that critical infrastructure is defended both at home and abroad.

Our Mission

We’re not a cybersecurity company selling protection – we’re builders obsessed with doing infrastructure right. We think it’s simple: create hardware and software where protection isn’t an afterthought; it’s the starting point. Every gateway, every controller, every platform  we develop has security engineered into its core from day one. We don’t compromise on  functionality to achieve security, and we don’t compromise on security to ship faster. 

OUR PEOPLE

Executive Team

A group of innovators, engineers, and security experts dedicated to building a smarter, safer energy grid.

James Wolf

Nikita Volynskiy

Chief Technology Officer
Nikita is the architect behind Solitude’s platform that enables utilities to safely integrate, monitor, and manage DERs. Drawing on his experience leading complex software projects and building embedded systems, he has built the foundation for a decentralized framework that protects the grid’s most dynamic assets.

Daniel Kawiecki

Chief Operating Officer

Daniel Kawiecki

Chief Operating Officer
Daniel left his PhD research in mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois to focus full time on Solitude Labs. After working at Northrop Grumman and researching industrial systems, he’s seen the digital transformation of control infrastructure up close. His insight has shaped Solitude’s approach to bridging hardware and cybersecurity as he leads development of the DER gateway that anchors our platform.
