Our Team
Meet our leadership team
The CleanChoice Energy team comes from a diverse range of backgrounds, all united by a passion to make our environment more sustainable, and our air cleaner. Together, we apply our unique skills and expertise to the mission of clean energy for all.
Tom Matzzie
President & CEO
After spending 15 years helping people get involved in politics through technology, Tom wanted to do something more about climate change. He had a vision to make renewable energy accessible for all, and founded CleanChoice Energy to do just that. When he’s not in the office, you might find Tom out on the Chesapeake Bay with his family.
Kate Colarulli
Chief of Staff
At CleanChoice Energy, Kate mixes her public relations and customer engagement experience (for NGOs, government, and for-profit organizations) to advocate for a planet that’s safe for future generations—including her kids. On weekends, you can often find Kate outside: hiking, running, biking, kayaking, or swimming.
John Burke
Chief Financial Officer
With a background in accounting and consulting, John believes people should have a say in where their energy comes from. He’s committed to improving the earth for his nine children and four grandchildren so they can enjoy a cleaner environment. When he’s not working to deliver clean energy options, you’ll catch him playing golf or hockey, cheering on his Boston sports teams, or traveling anywhere off the beaten path.
Tom Crowder
Chief Marketing Officer
Coming from the world of Marketing and Advertising, Tom is glad to put his experience to work for good. He enjoys working for a mission-driven organization that will benefit him and everybody else. On the weekend you might find him hiking the local trails, or reminiscing about that time he ate delicious barbecued tarantula in his travels.
Daniel Murray
Chief Information Officer
Working at CleanChoice Energy is the perfect intersection of Daniel’s skill set and a cause he cares very strongly about. With a background in political campaigns and economic development, he brings a unique perspective to help fix the air pollution problem. On the weekends you’ll find him cheering for his under-performing hometown sports teams.
Tory Harding
SVP, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer
We only have one environment, and Tory wants to make sure it’s protected for future generations. So, she brings her Accounting expertise to the team to help us work towards our mission. Outside the office, she enjoys traveling and experiencing different cultures, and has the goal of attending all four grand slam tennis events.
Laura Pagliarulo
SVP, Community Solar and Commercial Sales
For over 16 years, Laura has played an active role in the clean energy sector. Before joining CleanChoice Energy, she worked in the renewable energy division of a large retail electricity supplier and led community solar efforts at one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies. Her life’s work: to protect and improve the natural world.
Paul St. Louis
Chief Operating Officer
Coming from a retail energy background, the prevailing wisdom that price was the most important factor in a customer’s decision. But Paul recognized that when it comes to energy, you pay a much higher price in the long term when energy production harms the environment. He came to CleanChoice Energy to help shift the paradigm. Paul keeps busy with his family doing anything from camping to scouting, to sports, movies, and community activities.
Zak Bremer
VP, Data Services
Zak’s desire to make a positive impact goes back to his work for political campaigns and PACs. Before joining CleanChoice Energy, he worked for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee. A graduate of the George Washington University, Zak is dedicated to improving the world his daughter will inherit.
Christy Nagle
VP, Acquisition Marketing
With a background in the environmental non-profit space helping to elect environmental champions to office, Christy knows the importance of breathing clean air. She sees CleanChoice Energy as the key to improving the public health of current and future generations. A mission-driven professional, you can find Christy exploring the world CleanChoice seeks to protect.
Jennifer Spinosi
VP, Regulatory and Compliance
Jennifer joined CleanChoice Energy in 2016, excited to work for a company where customers can align their values with everyday purchasing decisions. Her background in retail energy gives her a unique perspective on renewable energy policy issues. In her free time, Jennifer watches Ohio State football and preserves food grown on her urban homestead.
Laurie Cordova
VP, Product
Laurie leads the management of digital products at CleanChoice, focusing on Product Management, User Experience, and broader business strategy.
