Created a start-up company and Energy Service Company (ESCO) for Orion Lighting products and was subsequently acquired by Orion in April 2004. Xe Energy sold products and installation services to commercial and industrial companies which provided energy savings. The system generated financial benefits for the user and was sold extensively on ROI and cash flow savings. In a short period of time, Xe Energy became the largest VAR for Orion in North America. In 2004, Orion approached Xe Energy to combine forces and use the sales talent from Xe to build a national sales platform for Orion, eventually doing business with 40% of the Fortune 500 companies.
