JOTO PR Disruptors Names Norman Arjonilla COO to Scale Anti-PR Delivery and Performance

Published

on

By

With more than two decades of experience building high-performance teams, quality-control systems, and measurable execution models, Arjonilla will lead operational discipline across JOTO PR’s growing Anti-PR delivery infrastructure.

TAMPA, Fla., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JOTO PR Disruptors, an agency specializing in Anti-PR and disruption-driven communications, announced that Norman Arjonilla has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, reinforcing the agency’s continued investment in scaling its delivery model through consistent client execution. Arjonilla, who previously served as JOTO PR’s Anti-PR Chief of Delivery & Excellence, brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across quality control, team development, and performance management. As Chief Operating Officer, he will oversee the standards, policies, metrics, and workflows supporting JOTO PR’s client service, media relations, and delivery divisions.

“Norman Arjonilla displays the exact kind of operational leadership required for an agency built on accountability, speed, and measurable outcomes,” said Karla Jo Helms, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Evangelist of JOTO PR Disruptors. “JOTO’s Anti-PR model depends on precision. Strong strategy and media instincts must be supported by teams and processes that perform consistently. Norman understands how to build that foundation, empower people within it, and scale what works.”

A Career Built on Control, Metrics, and People

Arjonilla’s leadership philosophy centers on clear expectations, open communication and clear guidelines. He has spent his career helping organizations identify weaknesses, improve team execution, and establish repeatable practices that support long-term growth.

Before joining JOTO PR, Arjonilla held quality-control leadership roles at Blackstone Medical Services, where he helped scale national sales teams from approximately 40 to more than 70 representatives. He supported record year-over-year growth through structured training, daily accountability, and performance oversight. He also built and trained acquisition teams at Andrews Land Holdings, implementing workflows and negotiation strategies designed to improve consistency and profitability.

Scaling the Anti-PR Delivery Model

In his new role, Arjonilla will focus on strengthening the operational backbone behind JOTO PR’s client campaigns, streamlining cross-department production flow, reinforcing quality-control standards, expanding employee training, and improving visibility into agency performance. His work will center on building the operational structure needed to support JOTO PR’s continued growth.

“Agencies often grow by adding more people, more tools, and more activity,” Arjonilla said. “But growth only becomes sustainable when the operation underneath it is measured and understood. My focus is to make sure JOTO’s delivery engine is built to scale without losing precision, morale, or performance.”

The appointment comes as JOTO PR continues to establish Anti-PR as an alternative to traditional public relations models. The agency’s approach is built around identifying market disruption, shaping problem-led narratives, and creating media strategies that connect client expertise to timely solutions-led conversations across business, healthcare, technology, consumer markets, and public policy.

Building a Stronger Agency Infrastructure

Arjonilla’s background in talent development, supervisory leadership, and performance management will help strengthen JOTO PR’s internal training systems, client-readiness standards, and culture of continuous improvement. His multilingual fluency in English, Spanish, and Italian adds another layer to his ability to lead across teams, cultures, and communication styles.

For Arjonilla, the COO role is about creating conditions for people to perform with clarity and confidence.

“Good operations do not make people feel controlled. They give people the structure to win,” Arjonilla said. “When expectations are clear, metrics are understood, and everyone knows what successful delivery looks like, the whole team becomes more capable. That is what I want to help build at JOTO PR.”

Eolian Announces 1+ GWh Flint Grid BESS: PJM’s Largest Battery Energy Storage Project Now Under Construction to Support America’s Fastest-Growing Data Center and Industrial Corridor near Columbus, Ohio

Published

on

By

Flint Grid, a 200 MW / 5.3-hour (1.06 GWh) battery energy storage project, demonstrates how Eolian’s long-term investment strategy anticipated growing electricity demand and will unlock the grid using flexible resources in the core of one of the nation’s most critical locations for AI datacenter development.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eolian announced that Flint Grid, a 200MW, 5+hour duration grid-scale battery energy storage system in Jersey Township, Licking County, Ohio, has started construction (“Flint Grid Project”). Located adjacent to New Albany datacenter and industrial load, the Flint Grid Project is the first large-scale battery energy storage system to qualify for the PJM capacity market and the largest battery storage system to clear the 2027/28 Residual Capacity Auction, representing more than 50 percent of all new battery storage capacity in that capacity year.

Eolian’s Flint Grid, a 1.06 GWh BESS, will unlock the grid and balance costs in critical location for datacenter growth.

The Flint Grid Project is also the first grid-scale battery energy storage system permitted by the Ohio Power Siting Board and the largest battery energy storage system built to date in Ohio and the PJM footprint, establishing an important precedent for future energy storage development across the state.

Eolian is actively collaborating with grid operators, regulators, and industry stakeholders on research and policy initiatives to advance battery energy storage integration into wholesale electricity markets, including technical frameworks for optimal bidding protocols, new market products for energy storage participation, ELCC accreditation methodology, revenue optimization across multiple wholesale market segments, and a recognition that strategically-located battery storage projects can actually increase transmission capacity in constrained locations with increasing load demands.

“There’s growing consternation about how the US can rapidly scale infrastructure to support America’s growing electricity demand, but not nearly enough conversation about how to use existing technology to unlock the wasted capacity that already exists on the grid” said Aaron Zubaty, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eolian. “Flint Grid demonstrates how companies like Eolian have been investing in solutions to unlock the grid and reduce price pressures on consumers using proven and scalable technology. This project requires hundreds of millions of dollars to construct, and we committed the necessary capital and resources years before today’s demand forecasts became headline news. As policymakers consider changes to competitive electricity markets, it’s critical that they avoid undermining the long-term investments already underway that will make better use of existing transmission infrastructure and that create a bridge to further long-term supply expansion.”

Battery energy storage complements traditional grid infrastructure by providing flexible capacity that responds in milliseconds to stabilize and back up the grid during high-risk events, while optimizing how to match power supply and demand through all hours of the day, every day of the year.

Flint Grid is expected to enter commercial operation in advance of the 2027–2028 PJM capacity year.

About Eolian
Eolian operates a growing portfolio of battery energy storage projects and develops and invests in clean energy and co-located large load projects across the US. For over 20 years, Eolian’s founding management has worked together to build the assets at the core of the company, creating unique and proprietary structures that have directly funded the development of nearly 30 GW of operating or under-construction energy storage, solar, and wind generating capacity across the country. Eolian is owned by its employees and funds that are managed by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a BlackRock company and leading global infrastructure investor.

By

WASHINGTON, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has selected Quantifind to support safeguarding U.S. communications infrastructure. The partnership addresses growing risks tied to foreign ownership, control, or influence within the sector.

Under the agreement, the FCC will employ Quantifind’s Graphyte platform, an AI-powered research tool that helps analysts rapidly assess ownership structures, hidden relationships, sanctions exposure, and other risk indicators across fragmented public and commercial data sources. The platform supports beneficial ownership analysis, automated reporting, and integration with FCC workflows through both individual search and batch-screening capabilities, which will accelerate FCC investigations into entities, equipment, and services that may threaten U.S. national security.

The FCC’s published justification stated that after evaluating 17 potential solutions, Quantifind was identified as the most comprehensive and cost-effective option, uniquely meeting the FCC’s technical requirements for integrated supply chain risk analysis, API integration, and automated risk scoring.

“Networks are increasingly complex and opaque, which makes the work of the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau more challenging than ever,” said Ari Tuchman, Quantifind CEO and co-founder. “We built Quantifind to rapidly and accurately uncover connections hidden in vast, messy data, and we are proud to put our software to work on the national security mission of this Bureau.”

About the FCC Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau

The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is responsible for supporting national security reviews, maintaining the FCC Covered List, and responding to requests from interagency partners including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and Team Telecom. These missions involve analyzing vast amounts of data from disparate sources to pinpoint entities, equipment, and services that may pose an unacceptable risk to national security.

About Quantifind

Quantifind is the leader in AI-driven risk intelligence, trusted by seven of the 10 largest U.S. banks and multiple federal agencies to uncover hidden risks in complex data. Its Graphyte™ platform uses machine learning, natural language processing, and proprietary Name Science™ to detect indicators of illicit finance, foreign influence, and supply-chain exposure across billions of records. Quantifind was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
