In 2017, GreenSpark Solar was named Rochester's fastest-growing company at the Chamber's "Top 100" Awards. The award calculates growth over a 3-year period and Kevin doesn't think it was a coincidence that the award came exactly 3 years after GreenSpark decided to pursue B corp certification: "From the time that we outwardly said that we were subscribed to a Triple Bottom Line, we grew over 600%...we believe that's absolutely linked."

Kevin Schulte founded GreenSpark with his best friends in 2002 and was named CEO in 2008. He provides the leadership, vision and passion that drives the growth and success for the company. While Kevin’s leadership can be calculated in megawatts he would point to being named Rochester’s Top Workplace in 2017 as his highest professional accomplishment. Kevin’s vision of a creating a values-led, mission-driven company is contagious and resulted in not only the top workplace award, but also in receiving The Leadership Award from Rochester’s Top Workplaces – as voted upon by the entire team at GreenSpark.

Tune in to this episode to get a look inside Kevin's mindset of relentless improvement, his advice to leaders beginning on the Conscious Leadership journey and lessons learned from B corp certification process.
