Sarah Spencer-Workman has more than seventeen years of
experience in the energy and sustainability sector. In her former
role as Senior Global Director of Decarbonization, at the leading
commercial real estate services firm CBRE, Sarah led global
decarbonization efforts that resulted in successful energy

President of Customer Solutions, Sarah will be responsible for
capitalizing on the convergence of customer needs and capabilities.
By leveraging her expertise, she will spearhead the continued
growth of Sparkfund's customer solutions. These solutions empower
building owners and operators to address rising costs, maintain

“I am thrilled to be joining the Sparkfund team. The company’s
mission to accelerate the energy transition by making buildings a
valuable extension of the grid resonates deeply with my passion for
decarbonizing the built environment,” said Spencer-Workman. “I look
forward to working with this innovative team to build on
Sparkfund’s work to date, developing and delivering solutions that
help our customers navigate the complex world of deploying energy
technologies.”
Sparkfund’s hires of Warner and Mart further strengthen the

property owners achieve energy and operational goals. As the former
Head of People Operations & Business Operations at Carbon
Lighthouse, Warner brings valuable experience in building teams
focused on decarbonizing the built environment and fostering

Co-founder at Sparkfund. “Their addition builds on our momentum
working with utilities, power providers, and commercial property
owners to deploy distributed energy technologies. "We're thrilled
