New CEO to guide ClearVue global solar glass commercialisation

ClearVue Technologies chief executive officer Douglas Hunt will step up from his interim capacity to lead the company’s global commercialisation strategy for its solar-integrated glass solutions.

Hunt will lead a seasoned new leadership team, focused on achieving sales growth, scalable manufacturing and distribution and product innovation. He steps into the role amid a strategic overhaul and after spending four years with the company as its chief operating officer, where he helped develop the company’s second-generation solar glazing units.

ClearVue Technology chief executive officer Douglas Hunt will step up from his interim capacity to lead the company’s global commercialisation strategy.

The new team has agreed to sub-market compensation until the company’s 30-day rolling average share price hits 35 cents, signalling their confidence in ClearVue’s future.

ClearVue Technologies non-executive chairman and founder Victor Rosenberg said: “Doug has continually advanced the ClearVue integrated solar façade product line to include solar cladding, spandrel, balustrade, skylight and rooftop solutions. He has also led our engagement with our most important partners in the construction, architecture and engineering sectors.”

The company has named engineer Tao Zhang to replace Hunt as chief operating officer. Zhang brings expertise in façade engineering and renewable energy systems to the role.

It has also appointed incoming global marketing director Lisa Dreger, who has 35 years of experience in technology and sustainability, and innovator Christopher Cole, who will bring know-how in streamlining manufacturing and patents as the new head of research and development.

‘Recent leadership and board changes will sharpen our strategic focus and reflect a proactive strategy to reposition the business for its next stage of growth.’

Hunt replaced Charles Mowrey, who resigned as the company’s North American president and CEO on July 18, after serving as an executive director since May 2024.

Earlier this month, ClearVue launched a comprehensive review to optimise its spending, prioritise its product development and expand its global partnerships.

Hunt, then interim CEO, emphasised collaboration with the restructured board to ensure long-term growth while advancing ClearVue’s mission to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings through energy-efficient, solar-generating glass.

“Recent leadership and board changes will sharpen our strategic focus and reflect a proactive strategy to reposition the business for its next stage of growth,” he said.

With a refreshed leadership team, ClearVue seems poised to accelerate its vision, while delivering innovative solutions that blend aesthetics, sustainability and renewable energy for a greener future.
