OC Talent Attracts Romeo Power

Finding good workers is the key factor that is bringing battery maker Romeo Power Inc. to Orange County.

“The No. 1 advantage is the ability to recruit and retain talent,” Chief Executive Susan Brennan said.

“It’s important for a company like Romeo that we’re able to attract talent from the production worker to critical engineering,” she said, adding that OC is “unique” in that regard.

Many Romeo Power employees are Orange County residents who drive to Vernon, an industrial city a few miles south of downtown Los Angeles, so they are excited to have shorter commutes to Cypress, the CEO said.

“I also want to retain the really good employees we have at Romeo today,” she told the Business Journal. “We’re looking forward to being a member of the Orange County family.

“I want to thank Orange County and the community for welcoming Romeo.”
