Clean Tech

“Our core practice. We are all in on Cleantech.”

In 2007 we set out to build a practice in the emerging field of Cleantech; today, it is our most thriving sector.

We are animated by a vision of the world where electric vehicles get their energy from solar arrays and drive on sunlight; where every homeowner, empowered by solar, micro wind, energy storage and intelligent control systems for their homes, becomes an energy entrepreneur; and where the waste stream from one area becomes the feedstock for the next.  Technology becomes a lever for a real change in the way we think and act, thus building a sustainable future.

With clients who are global leaders in the areas of Solar, Wind, Biofuels, Fuel Cell/Energy Storage, Smart Grid and other emerging technologies, we have built many prominent teams in the space, some from scratch.  We work with the Board and Executive Management of firms to find them the leaders they need to thrive.

What Clients Say

Chris is a great person to know, both when recruiting and looking for a new role. Although we worked together only virtually, he was very effective indeed in arranging a number of relevant interviews.

Chris is hands down the best executive recruiter I have ever worked with. His genuine interest in fully understanding both client company and executive needs separate him from others. It has been a tremendous pleasure working with Chris.

Tim Klaus, Regional Vice President, Finance – Asia Pacific at Dana Corporation

Chris is an executive recruiter who takes a very different approach than most people in his line of work. Chris invests time up-front truly getting to know the candidate and his/her career goals.

Jackie Werblo, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Easton Bell Sports

In only a few instances have I followed up on a general solicitation from a recruiter expounding the virtues of a represented candidate and actually found a perfect fit.

Wolfgang Lange, CEO, Solar Frontier Europe

My colleagues from our corporate office in Japan suggested that I use Chris and Chris Turzo and Associates to help us staff some key positions in our European business.

One of my responsibilities at Solar Frontier as Vice President – International Business was to initiate market entries and launch sales teams in both the U.S and Europe in support of our 900MW CIS plant expansion. I turned to Chris and we retained Chris Turzo and Associates to help build out our executive and sales…
