Episode Description
You're gonna love this one, Solar Warriors.
Today’s guest is CEA’s Vice President in Sales and Marketing, Darryl Parker. Based in San Francisco, CA, Darryl Parker brings more than 35 years of extensive high tech, manufacturing and power electronics experience to his role now in the clean energy revolution. He currently leads sales and marketing, solving clients, solar and storage challenges at clean energy associates.
In this episode, Darryl and I cover the gamut of his deep tech expertise from Sun Microsystems early days to Satcon powers, rapid expansion and beyond. He's helped multiple startup companies, particularly in hardware, grow past that first $100 million revenue marker and I dig into just how Darryl sees the clean economy evolving, and where you can use his insights to make your big impact. His customer-centered approach is a practical look at how sales & marketing is evolving and what you should be thinking about in your own business!
