“Bruce has demonstrated outstanding leadership in larger companies within the financial services and solar industries,” said Dan Rosen, Mosaic co-founder and CEO. “He has extensive knowledge and talent to scale Mosaic’s next growth cycle servicing home solar loans and crowdsourcing capital to finance them. We’re thrilled to have Bruce join Mosaic’s executive team.”

The hire results from substantial scaling of Mosaic’s peer-to-peer lending model, which provides the most resilient financing options in an environment of declining federal tax incentives. Mosaic’s loan also continues to gain traction as homeowners become increasingly educated about the benefits of solar ownership, including up to 15 additional years of clean energy after the 20-year payment period, and a significant increase in home resale value, both inaccessible through the third party ownership Bruce Ledesmamodel.

“Mosaic is at the intersection of three exciting high growth sectors: peer-to-peer lending, renewable energy and social networks,” said Ledesma. “As solar ownership continues to gain market share in the years ahead, I look forward to supporting the development of the best loan products for homeowners, as well as driving out the soft costs of the financing process for our installer partners. I’m excited to join the team and help scale operations and growth for all stakeholders participating in Mosaic’s peer-to-peer marketplace.”
