Who is Jim Walker?
I have more than 45 years of experience in the energy industry. I started and grew a solar energy development and construction business for Ameresco and an energy supply business for XENERGY. In between starting businesses, I was a research analyst for three firms (Forrester Research, Global Insight, and Cambridge Energy Research Associates).
I have volunteered to help entrepreneurs, including co-founding the Ignite Clean Energy Business Competition for the MIT Enterprise Forum (now the Cleantech Open) and Mass Ventures.
In my first job after college, I developed a new residential heat pump for Carrier Air Conditioning Company and received a patent on the new design.
I graduated from MIT Sloan School (MBA) in Cambridge, MA, and UMass/Amherst (BS in Mechanical Engineering). I am a registered professional engineer in Massachusetts.
My professional career history is on LinkedIn.
