Inertia Resources, one of the nation’s fastest-growing energy brokerage firms, is making a major move in Texas, expanding its footprint in Houston to deliver cutting-edge energy management solutions to local businesses. As part of this growth, the company has appointed Rick Douglas as Director of Business Development, leading efforts to help businesses optimize their energy expenses while ensuring cost savings and sustainability.
