What I loved about my job at Genentech was the opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives. As a case manager, I navigated a complex landscape of provider networks, insurance policies, and financial assistance channels to help patients with serious or life-threatening medical conditions obtain pharmaceuticals that could extend or significantly enhance the quality of their lives.In this role, I directly interfaced with physicians, health care providers, and patients and worked collaboratively with internal cross-functional teams, field staff, and SMEs to identify and resolve insurance coverage bottlenecks and prior authorization requirements. Additionally, I researched the availability of philanthropic financial support for under-insured patients to ensure their medications were affordable.

At Evergreen, I managed programs and projects under a portfolio of utility-sponsored contracts. I served as the client interface for programs that provide incentives to promote the adoption of efficient LED lighting by Energy Trust of Oregon multifamily property owners and supported NEEA’s regional lighting distributor program. I led a study commissioned by DesignLights Consortium to identify barriers to adoption and best practices to promote networked lighting control technology with strategic utility incentive program designs.

At CLEAResult—a leading provider of energy efficiency and demand-side management programs to utilities across North America—I served on the Consumer Products leadership team and directed day-to-day operations, including P&L and client management, for 6 residential energy efficiency programs that exceeded energy savings and market transformation goals. This involved collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and industry partners as well as coaching and motivating program managers, coordinators, and field personnel to ensure superior team-based execution, accountability, and customer satisfaction. During my tenure at CLEAResult, we were awarded a no-bid contract expansion that added HVAC products to a residential lighting program. I led the market research effort and developed strong relationships with manufacturers and distributors to support the launch of Evaporative Cooling measures.

In my final role with APT before it was acquired by CLEAResult, I set up the company’s first satellite office in Portland—taking top-to-bottom ownership of the launch and growth of the office including hiring staff, managing program budgets, and overseeing all contracts and business activity in the Northwest region. My portfolio included programs with total incentive and implementation budgets of $10M per year.A few highlights:• Negotiated, executed, and administered hundreds of contracts with retailers, manufacturers, and distributors to ensure industry partners adhered to all terms and conditions for promotional agreements including maintenance of contractual price reductions, special merchandising, and submission of accurate and timely sales data. • Supervised 5 program managers responsible for the performance of 13 remote field representatives. • Developed and delivered a corporate training curriculum on the promotion and proper installation of heat pump water heaters under utility incentive programs; served as electric and gas water heater SME.I am most proud of leading the turnaround of a midstream lighting distributor program, increasing sales 5-fold, and securing no-bid contracts with additional utility clients due to the program’s success.

After learning the ropes as a Territory Account Manager, I was handpicked by my boss to move into a role designing and implementing energy-efficient products programs funded by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) in collaboration with our consulting firm partners. I hired, trained, and coached a field implementation team of up to 13, including account representatives located throughout the Northwest as well as remote support staff. This team knocked it out of the park in successfully enlisting, training, and supporting up to 1,000 dealers participating in efficient lighting programs. An early win in my new job was contributing to the successful transition of APT from serving as a subcontractor to being the prime contractor (with a major Seattle-based utility). We out-performed our competitors to such a degree that word got around and APT subsequently secured contracts with four of the largest utilities in the Northwest. I was the primary contact for our utility partners in the Northwest and my team relied on me to build relationships that allowed us to cement our position in the region. Additionally, I served on the proposal teams and participated in client interviews.

A few months after moving to Portland, I landed a job I loved and affected a career transition to the energy efficiency industry. As a Territory Account Representative for APT, I traveled throughout Oregon and southwest Washington, engaging over 120 home appliance dealers in the effective promotion of ENERGY STAR products. I delivered sales training to employees and served as a technical resource on how to influence consumers’ purchasing decisions leveraging state tax credits and regional utility incentives. The job was a great fit as it required strong relationship-building skills as well as the ability to translate the minutiae of complicated incentive-based programs administered by organizations like the Energy Trust in terms dealers could understand from their business perspective.
