As Pineapple’s CFO, Mr. Ingvaldson will lead the Company’s finance organization and financial activities including accounting, corporate development, financial reporting analysis and internal audit.

Mr. Ingvaldson comes to Pineapple Energy with a track record of driving financial success at multiple companies. His diverse experience includes “Big 4” accounting, as well as audit and corporate finance roles at large public companies, middle market companies and early-stage start-ups. Most recently, he served as the CFO and COO of Kradle, where he joined the company pre-revenue and managed significant growth. He also led the finance operations of C.H.

Incoming CFO Eric Ingvaldson noted, “I’m excited about the opportunity at Pineapple because solar will play a significant role in the future of residential energy.

Pineapple Energy has outstanding opportunities ahead, and I am honored to join this team.”
