Experience

1. President & CEO

   Solar Energy Industries Association

   Jan 2017 — Present · Washington, DC, US

   Thrilled to be leading a trade association representing an industry that employs more than Americans and contributes billions of dollars in direct investment into the U.S. economy. As President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, my goal is to build and advance relationships with the SEIA member companies, the thousands of additional companies that work in the solar space and many other stakeholders including utility commissions, regulators and policymakers. Under my purview are SEIA’s government affairs, research, communications and industry leadership initiatives. My priorities are protecting strong federal tax policy in support of solar, engaging in state policy debates to ensure sustainable solar markets and building a diverse customer base and work force, so that all Americans benefit from and are included in the solar story. As a leader in the solar industry, I plan on telling the great solar story to wide audiences through the press, speaking engagements and conferences and will consider any invitation to do so.
