SAN FRANCISCO, March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Redaptive, the leader in portfolio-scale energy solutions, announced today three new members to the company's board of directors. The company welcomes Chris Hsu, who joins Redaptive's Board as the new Chair, Audrey Lee (Ph.D.), and Paul Rainey, who join as board members.

"We're thrilled to have Chris join as the new Redaptive Chair during this important period of expansion for Redaptive," said Arvin Vohra, Redaptive CEO. "The company closed a significant funding round late last year and is on the precipice of major growth into exciting new projects and technology offerings. These new efforts will benefit greatly from the energy and technology experience of Chris alongside the new additions of Audrey Lee and Paul Rainey to our board."

Chris Hsu brings 30 years of strategic business leadership experience to Redaptive. Chris has driven business performance across a diverse set of industries internationally as a CEO, advisor, and board member.

"I'm excited to join the Redaptive board as the new Chair," said Hsu. "I've seen the Redaptive team grow from a small idea into a full-scale company with high potential. I'm passionate about their mission to enable enterprises globally to lower their carbon footprint by creating a turnkey solution for a hugely complex problem. By leveraging Redaptive's unique combination of financing and operational excellence, companies will be able to complete high ROI projects that were perpetually backlogged."

Dr. Audrey Lee joins as a clean energy executive with nearly two decades of experience. She is currently Sr. Director of Energy Strategy at Microsoft. Previously she was the founding Vice President of Energy Services at Sunrun and held roles at the Energy Storage Association, Advanced Microgrid Solutions, California Public Utilities Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy.

"My career in energy has taken me from government work to solar solutions – but Redaptive is unique in its portfolio-scale approach and funding flexibility for large-scale customers," said Lee. "Energy efficiency retrofits remain one of the largest untapped opportunities for companies to save money and lower their carbon footprint. I'm pleased to join Redaptive's mission to make that process turnkey and accessible for companies."
