It’s Sacramento Region Innovation Awards time with submissions for the 2017 awards open through the end of July. To help celebrate innovation in our region, the StartupSac podcast will feature a series of podcast episodes on the awards program, including interviews with last year’s winners.
In the previous episode of the StartupSac podcast I met with the Stoel Rives organizing team – Jennifer Forester, Melissa Jones, and Chris Russell, at the Stoel Rives offices downtown to learn more about the program. In this episode, I met up with Rob White, Chief Strategist at Sierra Energy, last year’s winner in the Sustainability category. In addition to Rob’s role at Sierra Energy he’s also the former Chief Innovation Officer for the City of Davis and will be a judge in the Sustainability category for this year’s awards.
