USWilliam shares real-world insights from leading battery innovation at ALE, showing how U.S.-made tech powers defense, autonomy, and infrastructure. Audiences gain strategies to commercialize deep tech, build resilient supply chains, and lead in national security innovation.
William M. Hadala Jr. is a visionary technology leader, entrepreneur, and commercialization strategist working at the intersection of national security, advanced energy storage, and next-generation infrastructure. As Chief Strategy Officer at American Lithium Energy (ALE), William plays a pivotal role in transitioning the company from a research-focused organization to a domestic manufacturing force in lithium-ion battery production—serving defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors.
At ALE, his leadership has driven the company’s expansion into GWh-scale manufacturing, the securing of STRATFI and SBIR contracts with the U.S. Space Force and Army, and the commercialization of advanced battery chemistries, including silicon-enhanced NMC, LMFP, and ALE’s patented Zero Volt Technology (ZVT) and SafeCore platform. ALE’s cells now support high-performance applications across directed energy weapons, UAVs, eVTOLs, spacecraft, and secure edge computing environments—all within NDAA-compliant supply chains.
William is also the founder of the A113 Venture Fund, a family office focused on bold investments in frontier technologies. Through A113, he has incubated and accelerated companies and solutions across edge data centers, immersive compute, GridEdge AI, post-quantum cybersecurity, and smart infrastructure. A113-backed ventures are shaping the future of resilient cities, sovereign digital infrastructure, and autonomous defense platforms.
Before joining ALE, William co-founded TMGcore, an award-winning liquid immersion cooling and high-performance compute infrastructure company that Modine ultimately acquired (NYSE: MOD). He has led national security supply chain initiatives, guided commercialization strategies for dual-use technologies, and partnered with agencies including DARPA, CISA, FBI InfraGard, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
He is the holder of 25+ patents in computing, robotics, and AI systems, and currently hosts The Watt Hour, a podcast dedicated to highlighting America’s innovators in energy, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing.
William’s career reflects a deep commitment to national resilience, technological sovereignty, and accelerating the deployment of American-made solutions with global impact.
