259 - Karla Loeb.png

Our today’s guest is a changemaker and pacesetter who has spent the last 13 years not only developing solar and wind projects, but also defending the right to do so for millions of people.

Karla Loeb is a veteran in clean energy policy and business development, specializing in greenfield projects, new market entry and regulatory and legislative affairs. As the Chief Policy & Development Officer for Sigora Solar, Karla is in charge of overseeing legislative, administrative and regulatory efforts at the local, state and national levels, as well as coordinating and managing strategic development partnerships.

Today’s conversation covers a wide range of topics from Karla’s early days in Texas Wind to her latest struggles and triumphs bringing landmark legislation to bear in the NY and MidAtlantic markets. She has proven a fierce advocate and driving force for her employers and now as a SEIA board member.

I trust you’ll want to stick around to hear how this brilliant lady from the bayou made her way up to the highest levels of impact in multiple industries and how she’s helping your solar company do the same.
