Glenna Wiseman’s Summary

I am a seasoned business executive with a long standing passion for the application of business principles to “green” goals. I believe strongly that one of the greatest opportunities for transformation to a cooler, more harmoniously balanced planet is within the energy sector.

My post as head of marketing at the HelioGroup affords me vision on energy efficiency, renewable energy (solar photovoltaics in particular) and the financing challenges inherent in the clean tech sector. The HelioGroup consists of three firms with an integrated approach to the green energy industry: HelioPower, founded in 2001 and a leader in engineered solar photovoltaic installations; HelioEMS, energy management solutions and Helio Micro Utility, a developer/owner of solar generation systems.
