Enphase Energy Inc. has a new head of sales for the Canadian and US markets. The company named Mike Lewis as VP and GM of US and Canadian sales.

Lewis will lead Enphase’s sales and field marketing groups where he will oversee the the development of new business opportunities and the customization of solutions to best meet customer needs.

"Mike is an experienced sales leader with a solid understanding of distribution and top tier accounts, and he has a great track record of developing strong customer and account relationships," said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. "He will help strengthen our existing US customer relationships and develop new strategic accounts as we continue to gain market share and execute on the global rollout of the Enphase Home Energy Solution."

Lewis has more than 20 years of management and executive experience in high-technology sales and business development. Prior to joining Enphase, Lewis spent most of his career at Seagate Technology, advancing with increasing levels of responsibility through the sales organization to become senior director of global sales in 2013. He also held management positions at Imation and Datacore prior to Seagate.

"Enphase has cracked the code on a scalable, distributed, cloud-based architecture, making it the only company that can offer a truly optimized and integrated clean energy system. Microinverter technology is the future, because it's not limited by the shortcomings of string inverters and their single point of failure," said Lewis. "With a strong, growing installed base and a full pipeline of innovative products across the energy solution and management space, I am thrilled to be at Enphase as the company realizes the full potential of energy management systems."
