Background / Selected work

Energy & strategy.

I spent the first chapter of my career in energy: researching markets, developing solar products and leading change across a business.

Off Grid Electric / Now ZOLA Electric

Project Apollo

As Senior Director of Product Management, I led the company’s transition from an ongoing lease model to lease-to-own solar products.

The change reached across financing, firmware, software, sales and service. It also enabled larger product bundles, including televisions, radios and satellite decoders. I led the work across these teams to make the new business model operate in practice.

Technology, on film.

Today, that background informs my work with scientists, founders and technical teams. For Lilac Solutions, I produced, directed and shot a film about the company’s lithium extraction technology.
