A perennial entrepreneur and avid pilot, Mr Robertson was a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a degree in Computer Science and held an MBA from Harvard Business School.
He joined Amonix in late 2009, through the acquisition of Sunworks Solar, where he was co-founder and chief executive officer of the solar power manufacturing plant development company. Previously, Robertson co-founded PlanetAll in 1996 where he served as chief technical officer until Amazon.com acquired the web-based services start-up in 1998. He went on to co-found Sun Edison LLC, which was acquired by MEMC in 2009.
Roberston leaves a wife and three children.
