His experience spans the entire solar value chain, from manufacturing and project development to software-based maintenance and predictive analytics.
Rosenberg started his career in M&A advisory, investment banking and corporate roles at PWC, Merrill Lynch and Zebra Technologies. He holds an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
