Complete Solaria names T.J. Rodgers executive chairman

Complete Solaria has appointed T.J. Rodgers Executive Chairman. Rodgers said, “The opportunity to equip American households with solar energy is one of the most exciting of our times, and I have been involved in the sector successfully for many years. I have been a significant investor in Complete Solaria and believe passionately in the potential of this company. Complete Solaria is at a crucial juncture in its history as we are about to start our life as a public company. The opportunity is clear for all. What we need to do now is to execute, execute, and execute so that we scale the company up and generate positive operating leverage. To ensure that we grow profitably and generate attractive returns for our investors, I have decided to take a more hands on approach and have been appointed by the board as Executive Chairman of the company. This will ensure that Complete Solaria is able to fulfil on its strong order book and meet the standard of operational excellence that I expect from the companies that I invest in. My active involvement in the day-to-day management of the company, along with recently announced key personnel changes will help the company scale more rapidly and drive profitable growth in the future. I want to talk to you about recent measures we have implemented, the early results these have yielded and the resulting positive outlook we have on the rest of 2023, and beyond.” Complete Solaria announced on October 3, 2022 an agreement for a business combination with Freedom Acquisition I Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company.
