San Mateo, California (January 22, 2014) – Vantage Partners, a leading executive retained search firm, is
pleased to announce the completion of the Vice President of Direct Sales search for Sunrun, the nation’s

business plan to aggressively grow the customer base and who would play a key role in reinforcing
Sunrun’s brand as a leader in the home solar space. As Sunrun’s new VP of Direct Sales, Matt will leverage
his experience and extensive track record for consistently exceeding company goals in highly competitive
global industry segments to drive new business as well as develop a high performing sales team that will
continue to increase and improve customer relations and retention.
