Our Staff
Five years ago, we set out to build a top-flight staff that could deliver an intensive level of service to cleantech companies and sustainability advocates. That meant finding skilled people who thrive in a hard-charging team environment, but who also wanted to express their values in the mission of our firm. We recruited many of them from the ranks of people who have run an in-house program for a company, nonprofit or elected official.
The Tigercomm staff members we’ve assembled have been handpicked to deliver our results-focused suite of services anywhere in the country.
