At EnergySage, we're passionate about the environment and we're committed to turning that passion into action. In our previous lives, we stockpiled a lot of experience in both clean energy and finance, so it was no surprise to us that the incredible economic benefits of these systems would be the key to spreading the word. Like you, we want to do what we can to help the planet and, if we can help you to bank a few dollars along the way, well...all the better. We want everyone to start using clean energy and we're here to do whatever we can to help make that happen!
Meet the team
Vikram Aggarwal
Chief Executive
Vikram is a rare mix of finance guy and environmentalist. Before creating EnergySage.com, he spent more than 15 years working with leading global financial services companies. As both an MBA and a chartered financial analyst, he’s spent a lot of time figuring out what makes businesses work. He first combined his business expertise with his passion for the environment while evaluating clean energy investment opportunities. It wasn’t long before he realized that his skills weren’t mutually exclusive. When he’s not evangelizing about the financial benefits of clean energy systems, Vikram can be found traveling the world, sipping fine wines, and sneaking in a few rounds of golf.
Jamie Biggar
Head of Product
No one understands better than Jamie how an effective web presence can make or break an organization. Over the past 15 years, he has developed a wide range of successful web sites and systems for many world-class companies including Vitality, PBS, Oxygen Media and Showtime. Jamie holds degrees from Brown University and NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications program, where he later shared his web development skills as a professor. Jamie loves it when he is able to mix work and play. In the late 90s, he built on his interest in science fiction to help launch and grow scifi.com. Now, he’s using his zeal for the environment to help EnergySage develop a unique and effective web experience aimed at accelerating clean energy adoption. While Jamie usually enjoys combining his passions, he recognizes the wisdom of separating his loves of running along Boston’s Charles River and brewing his own beer.
Daniel Bulli
VP, Platform Development
What do shoes, telephones and hunger relief have in common? Daniel Bulli! Daniel has a long history of thoughtful and creative web development, bringing his skills to bear across a broad range of iconic brands including PUMA, MINI USA, Saucony, Sprint, Oxfam, and DSW. Now Daniel is turning his skills and attention to help EnergySage. Like many people, Daniel needed to see the financial benefits of clean energy before he could be convinced. Now he’s a firm believer that clean energy is a smart move not only for the planet but for individuals as well. Daniel is an avid photographer and his love for the outdoors is evident in his work (check out his Flickr stream). An aspiring athlete, Daniel is a golfer and a vicious badminton player.
Joe LaRusso
Director of Corporate Affairs
Joe’s passion for clean energy is longstanding. He studied law at Northwestern University and public administration at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. For the past twenty years, he has amassed considerable experience in both public and private legal practice. His work on behalf of state and local governments includes a wide range of issues including energy services, market purchases of utility requirements, and securities disclosure compliance. At EnergySage, he is focused on helping as many home and business owners as possible to spin back their electric meters, say goodbye to their oil man, and start reaping the financial benefits of clean energy. Like Jamie, Joe loves running along the Charles, albeit more slowly, which allows him to stop and smell the flowers along the way.
Eileen Newman
VP Communications
From the moment she uttered her first words, Eileen has been fascinated with how we communicate with one another. For the past 20 years, she has delivered original, imaginative and inventive communications programs that have helped brands to resonate with target audiences long after their campaigns have ended. A graduate of Holy Cross College, she also earned her MBA from Babson College. Eileen’s functional expertise along with her solid foundation of business acumen is helping EnergySage to spread the word about its mission. Outside of EnergySage, she is an active literacy volunteer, an aspiring world traveler, and doting parent to her dog, Gracie.
Rusha Sopariwala
Creative Director
The marriage of form and function is at the heart of every successful design. At EnergySage, Rusha’s creativity is keenly focused on creating unique, purposeful designs that enhance our users’ experience. She is a fanatic about conservation and literally has anxiety attacks when she sees resources being wasted. Before joining us, her original and innovative work fueled the successful marketing and branding efforts of organizations such as Clark University, Noble and Greenough School, Boston University’s School of Public Health, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She takes the balance between art and science very seriously and it is evident in her personal life as well. As a true type-A, Rusha is obsessed with planning every last detail—a trait that has been indispensible to her love of travel. She also has a fervent love for the beauty of classical dance.
