Daryl-Lynn Roberts, Treasurer

As Vice President of Business Development at Visage Energy, Daryl-Lynn Roberts is responsible for developing and cultivating new business opportunities as well as relationships with energy companies and technology developers.  Most notably, she manages the clean energy technology-consulting group focused on assisting technology developers in accelerating commercialization/ deployment of technologies  (e.g. Microgrid, Energy Storage, Grid Modeling, Preferred Resources, and Carbon Capture & Storage).  She assisted in cultivating a strategic alliance with SRI to collaborate on multiple technology projects.  She also develops technology commercialization plans that address technical issues (e.g., a roadmap for the scale-up of technologies) and external engagement plans to outline an optimal technology transfer pathway.

While at Moore Clayton and Company, she spearheaded research on emerging technologies in the Energy and Media sector. The research was used by Managing Directors in conducting due diligence on the market potential of an industry sector.  While at Vernier Networks, she led cross-functional teams comprised of engineering, sales, and marketing responsible for managing beta customers prior to product launch and additional customers acquired post-launch.
