a net zero economy.”
“I’ve spent my career driving growth in complex environments
with multiple channels and partners, and I was drawn to Ameresco’s
ability to provide solutions that can be customized for each unique
customer’s set of needs,” said Johnson. “Reducing carbon emissions
through efficiency, renewables and advanced clean energy
technologies has never been more urgent, and I look forward to
joining my new Board colleagues as we work together to build a more
