Join us for a discussion with Sam Carroll, a New York-based business development consultant for renewable energy and green technology companies. His ongoing projects involve identifying target markets for the client, building a list of potential customers, and pursuing deals with those potential customers. Current clients include Soltage (commercial solar energy), Community Energy / Iberdrola (utility-scale wind energy), and Unimodal (21st Century transportation systems).
Sam holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton College (MN) and a Master of Public Policy degree from the University of Michigan. Sam served as a Presidential Management Fellow in Washington from 2002 to 2005, with assignments at the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, and Homeland Security / FEMA. He then left to seek work in private industry, and after a few false starts, has settled into a sole-proprietor consulting/contracting role in renewable energy.
