Job Titles:
- Strategic Accounts Manager
My name is Talia Ruiz and I serve as the Strategic Accounts Manager. My favorite part about working at SolarUnion is how the employees are a dynamic team that work together seamlessly to solve problems and give our customers the best experience.
Before I worked in the solar industry, I worked for a mining company. I decided to switch to solar because it is a future proof industry with many great opportunities. I believe that customers should choose SolarUnion because we offer the highest level of personalized service. If a customer has any questions about their project or about going solar, she can always find a team member to help out.
