The Makings of an Alternative Energy Juggernaut—Vision, Grit, Execution

Founders often talk about “headwinds,” or the challenges that can slow growth, and “tailwinds,” which are opportunities that can move businesses forward.

But Kyle Shroufe, CEO and co-founder of Opal Energy Group, a national energy company specializing in solar, says that they're two sides of the same coin—and that there are opportunities in every market. “In a tailwind environment, you have to pivot to take advantage. If you don't, you're losing market share. In a headwind environment, if you don't pivot, you expose yourself to downside risk,” he explains.
