Team Spotlight: Chris Ebersberg on the Future of Surge

Introduction

At Surge, our strength lies in the people who drive our mission forward. Each member brings a unique perspective, expertise, and energy that shapes the way we grow as a company. Today, we’re highlighting Chris Ebersberg, whose passion for leadership, commitment to excellence, and vision for renewable energy make him an essential part of the Surge team.

Experience That Makes an Impact

Chris brings a wealth of experience and a clear philosophy on what makes teams succeed:

“I’m a stickler for skill, knowledge, and activity. I’ll always give you the best I’ve got. I’m passionate, direct, and sometimes urgent, but quick to make amends. You’ll get my honest opinion and my commitment to pushing us forward together.”

This blend of high standards, authenticity, and teamwork has already proven invaluable in shaping Surge’s culture and momentum.

Looking Ahead: The Next 12 Months

With renewables on the verge of a historic shift, Chris is energized by the road ahead.

“The next twelve months are huge for renewables. We’re moving into true independence — what we call grid parity. This platform will let us offer more solutions in a shifting energy world. While others may quit, I’m excited to push through and lead.”

Chris sees opportunity where others may hesitate — and his leadership ensures Surge will be ready to meet the moment.

Supporting the Surge Sales Team

At the core of Chris’s role is his commitment to supporting Surge’s sales members.

“I’ll shoot straight and tell you what it takes. I’m here to give my best, work side by side with you, and keep us moving with urgency and purpose.”

His direct, action-focused style gives the team confidence that they’ll always have clear guidance and strong partnership.

Beyond the Office: Curiosity and Creativity

While Chris is driven in business, he also values curiosity and playfulness in his personal life.

“I love humor and being a beginner in new things. I’ve taught myself instruments like the Native American flute and banjo, not to be great at them but to keep a beginner’s mind. I value learning, making mistakes, and keeping my curiosity alive.”

This balance of leadership and humility reflects Chris’s belief in always staying open to growth.

Why Surge? Why Now?

For Chris, the decision to join Surge came down to timing, independence, and belief in the platform’s mission.

“I’ve led breakthrough teams before, but the timing and independence of Surge make this opportunity unique. I believe in a platform that stands on its own — not dependent on rebates or gimmicks. Surge combines autonomy with co-creation, and I wasn’t ready to just retire when something this exciting was happening.”

✨ Chris Ebersberg embodies what makes Surge unique: a combination of integrity, urgency, and vision for the future of clean energy. With leaders like Chris helping to guide the way, Surge is well-positioned to keep innovating and expanding as the energy transition accelerates.
