Senior Director of Asset Management

Formed by experienced renewable energy professionals in 2020, Cloudbreak is already one of the leading commercial and community solar developers in the United States. Our mission is to accelerate the growth in domestic renewable energy capacity while also bringing economic benefits to communities across the country.

We are executing on this mission by developing projects that save local residents and businesses money on their electric bills, generate significant tax revenue, create well-paying, local jobs, and diversify utility generation with renewable energy.

Our team is a tightly-knit group that is passionate about deploying high quality distributed solar and storage solutions. When we aren’t building renewable energy projects, we love to ski, board, bike, hike, camp, see live music, and dine together. As passionate outdoor-loving people, we believe climate change poses an existential risk to both the places we love and humanity itself. Harnessing the sun to generate renewable electricity with zero carbon emissions is one of the most tangible ways to slow climate change. If you are passionate about accelerating the transition to renewable energy and willing to roll up your sleeves to solve hard problems, this is the place for you.
