He earlier founded Sustainable Solutions in 2006 which helped consumer and cleantech private equity investors growth their portfolios, served as CEO of Nano-Tex between 2003 and 2006 (where he built a stain-resistant fabirc technology into a successful consumer nanotech business) and led Winterland between 1997 and 2002, growing sales from $30 million to $110 million.
