Awarepreneurs

Owen, a former Global Energy Manager at a Fortune 500 company, implemented $60M in clean technology before founding lumeo, a niche ESCO that hit eight figures in three years. After a successful exit, he launched ZNE Capital to decarbonize commercial real estate, acquiring 654 units worth $75M. Frustrated by solar deployment challenges, he founded Shine—now a leading turnkey solar solution for multifamily properties. Shine is set to decarbonize 200,000 apartment units with onsite solar by 2030, accelerating clean energy adoption where it’s needed most.
