PosiGen, the nation’s leading provider of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions for low-to-moderate income (LMI) households, announces Peter Shaper as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Shaper succeeds PosiGen Founder Tom Neyhart, who transitioned to Executive Chair of the Board, after building and leading the company as CEO for the past twelve years.
“PosiGen is doing something truly special in the world, and I am thrilled to lead the company through its next phase of growth,” says new CEO Peter Shaper. “I’ve worked for years investing in, running, and scaling businesses, and I am looking forward to putting that experience to work at PosiGen. But what makes me truly excited is the difference PosiGen makes in the lives of the customers we serve — saving households money and expanding access to clean energy. Tom and the PosiGen leadership team here have laid the foundation for a platform that can positively impact communities across the country, and it is an honor to take the reins and help expand that impact.”
