Summary

Chris Lee is the Founder and Chairman of Solgen Power. Solgen, who employs over 1300 team members, was recently recognized by Financial Times as the 6th fastest growing privately held company in the Nation. This was all accomplished in under 5.5 years of being in business.

When he's not at work, Chris loves spending time with his wife Andrea and their five wonderful children. They live a serene life on their 23-acre hobby farm in Washington State. Known for his dedication to his team and community, as well as his positive influence on others, Chris embodies resilience and determination.

Recently, Chris closed on a private equity deal that valued Solgen at $360M, his second 9-Figure exit in the last 12 months.
