It is rare that you come across standout talent like Rob. I had the pleasure of working with Rob for two years at Clean Energy Collective. His responsibilities included securing financing partners for CEC’s residential solar products. This was critical to the success of the residential sales team’s ability to sell community solar. Throughout Rob’s tenure, I was particularly impressed with the number of relationships he would develop with banks, which ultimately led to consumers recognizing that community solar was a viable option because financing was available. Rob also has an upbeat and positive attitude and was infectious throughout the entire organization. No matter how tense or stressful things were in the office, you could always count on Rob for a great story and a smile! Any employer would be lucky to have Rob as part of their team!
