“I am excited to join REV, a company dedicated to helping many more Americans find affordable ways to adopt sustainable practices sooner and at scale,” said Matt Bogoshian, Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel at REV. “During my time in Washington, I saw the market gap all over the country.

I am happy to join a talented team working to scale those impacts throughout America and around the world.”
