“Dan was great to work with at Vivint Solar. He is one of the unique individuals that is equally comfortable contributing at the "big picture" level and at the detailed implementation level. He was the driver behind many internal development efforts as well as the key individual interfacing between strategic partners for joint development projects - and did a great job at both. The remarkable growth of Vivint Solar while Dan was CTO is a reflection of his ability to scale from scrappy start-up to directing the technology efforts of a public company employing thousands of people across numerous states.”
