Co-Founder and CEO Mark Latham started Panel The Planet with a team of eco-entrepreneurs to advise and educate clients on how to make the best decisions from both an economic and green perspective. Mark has always approached business with a client first attitude, believing that the only way to create long lasting relationships was to put the client first and the bottom line second.Since 2011, Mark has gained broad industry experience, including commercial level solar and lighting projects and water conservation efforts that are now saving Southern California in excess of 150 million gallons of water per year. After many years learning the business, Mark decided that his personal vision of operation would best be served by starting an independent advisory and consulting firm to better meet the client’s needs. By virtually eliminating operational and overhead costs seen with previous ventures, the PTP model would not only allow for both greater control and transparency over project management, but also create a better negotiating and leverage position with vendor partners on projects that would significantly reduce the cost to client.
