Sun Catalytix Hires New CEO, Formerly of LumenZ

Sun Catalytix, a Cambridge, MA-based energy storage and renewable fuels startup, said today it has added Mike Decelle as its new president and chief executive. Decelle is a photonics industry veteran who was mostly recently CEO of LumenZ, a Boston-based LED technology company that was reported by the Boston Globe to be shut down earlier this spring. Sun Catalytix raised a $9.5 million Series B round last October, which was led by Tata and included Polaris Venture Partners.
