VAIL, AZ, January 31, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Christopher Thaddeus Trocola has been included in Marquis Who’s Who. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Trocola is a seasoned strategist, entrepreneur, and startup aficionado, renowned for his zeal in forging new business paths and challenging the conventional. With a career spanning nearly two decades, he has carved out a formidable reputation, particularly in the solar industry, for devising innovative business strategies, initiating and nurturing new ventures, and making significant operational impacts. His journey began shortly after graduating from Desert Rose High School, where he ranked in the top students in Arizona and was distinguished by Who’s Who Among American High School Students in 2004. This academic achievement laid the foundation for his venture into the world of sales and consulting. His initial foray into these fields marked the beginning of a distinguished career that would see him not only excel in sales but also emerge as a pivotal figure in shaping industry standards.
Throughout his career, Mr. Trocola has received numerous accolades and has achieved worldwide recognition for his professional achievements. These honors include being named the International Association of Top Professionals’ Top Founder & CEO of the Year, Top National Sales Professional, leading the top producing sales organization in the Southeast Region, and becoming the number one recruiter globally in multiple industries. His initial venture into direct sales, starting with selling Kirby vacuum cleaners, marked the beginning of an impressive career. Mr. Trocola quickly developed a strong interest in business, leading him to opportunities in franchising and consulting for emerging businesses, and eventually to building and managing a national sales organization. His journey has been filled with significant learning experiences, both from industry business owners and through practical, real-world applications. This realization, after a decade in directorial roles and while attending college, steered Mr. Trocola to focus entirely on his career. His work goes beyond just protecting consumers, encompassing industry-wide ethical standards, the adoption of cutting-edge technology, and influential policymaking, starting from his early beginnings and leading to his current status as a leading figure in the field. In 2016, Mr. Trocola launched his own company, Olympus Solar, and led it as Chief Executive Officer. During his nearly five-year tenure, he not only solidified his place in the solar industry but also championed consumer protection against deceptive practices. This mission was shaped by his own experiences and convictions in the field. Following his successful tenure at Olympus Solar, Mr. Trocola served as Board Advisor and interim Vice President of Sales for Sable Power Partners before co-founding Solar Power Pro in 2021.
His entrepreneurial expertise, deep knowledge of the field, and experience in high-level roles in the solar industry were instrumental in his co-founding of Mentis Corp in 2023, where he took on the role of Chief Executive Officer. Despite beginning his career in door-to-door sales, Mr. Trocola’s dedication and hard work propelled him to notable heights in the solar industry. Today, he leads an organization that specializes in licensure/certification and industry compliance, utilizing some of the most advanced proprietary technology available.
Both Mr. Trocola and Mentis Corp are at the forefront of ethical practices within the solar industry. Reflecting on his business achievements, he considers his most significant contribution to be his efforts in shaping effective legislation related to sales and deception in the solar industry across multiple states. This work includes offering support to legislators through informed oversight rather than imposing regulations. As a result, Mr. Trocola has become a trusted advisor to various states and organizations seeking guidance on solar energy matters.
In all his endeavors, Mr. Trocola credits his success to God, the support of his wife and children, his resilience, and adaptability in the face of challenges. Looking ahead, he plans to continue his influential work in oversight and partnership with industry associations and government bodies at both the federal and state levels, focusing on the solar industry’s evolution. Additionally, he aims to broaden his ethical consulting to other home service industries plagued with similar deceptive sales practices. His ultimate goal is to increase consumer protection in various sectors, ensuring safe and trustworthy transactions for all service and product purchasers.
