Jon Leist is Woolpert’s Geospatial Program Director for Energy & Utilities, where he helps utility organizations transform complex geospatial data into operational intelligence. With a focus on energy infrastructure, asset visibility, vegetation management, system resilience, and data-driven decision-making, Leist works at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution to help utilities modernize how they understand and manage their networks. His expertise centers on building geospatial baselines that connect remote sensing, lidar, imagery, analytics, and enterprise systems to support smarter planning, risk reduction, capital prioritization, and field operations. Through his work, Leist helps utilities move beyond fragmented datasets toward a more complete, actionable view of the infrastructure and environmental conditions that shape reliability, safety, and long-term resilience.
