As Co-Founder of GoodFinch, Hayes brings over 25 years of successful entrepreneurial experience across clean energy, investment/financial, mortgage, and technology sectors. He is also Founder, Chairman and CEO of GoodLeap – the #1 solar lender in the U.S. – as well as GivePower, a nonprofit organization that provides solar-based solutions for food, water, and electricity in developing regions around the world. Prior to his current roles, Hayes founded Paramount Equity Mortgage, where he underwrote ~$20 billion in mortgages.

After quickly garnering significant market share, he sold Paramount Solar to SolarCity, where he served as CRO for 3 years, growing its business 400 percent – 10 times the size of its nearest competitor.
