#5 Lightbulbs and Making an Impact Through Imperfect Solutions with Quintin Barnes, Co-founder of Allumia
Sustainability work can be daunting. The existential threat to humanity’s existence has the potential to paralyze. Today’s guest is Quintin Barnes, VP & Co Founder at Allumia, and Allumia grew out of that exact paralysis. While others in Seattle were looking for a perfect solution to climate change, Quintin and his co-founders didn’t wait around and got to work.
Allumia funds, designs, installs and maintains a complete efficiency upgrade for our commercial, industrial, and residential customers. In other words, they help you get the most from, and pay the least for, your lightbulbs.
Before co-founding Allumia, Quintin managed Climate Policy for the Washington Business Alliance. Prior to moving back to the Northwest, he lived in Argentina for four years where he was the Director of Latin America, and eventually also Europe, for Coastal Environmental Systems, Inc. Quintin completed undergrad at Boston College with a postgraduate degree from FLACSO Argentina, where he focused on emerging renewable energy markets and carbon pricing policy.
