Phil Coupe

Co-Founder

As co-founder and aspirational visionary, Phil focuses on key partnerships and community relationships, business strategy, and the long-term national security implications of over-reliance on finite fossil fuels. Prior to launching ReVision Energy, he worked as a journalist in Washington, DC, and then helped start a business that twice made the Inc. 500 List of Fastest-Growing Companies in America. To match business growth with purpose, Phil immersed himself in the early movement toward corporate social responsibility and socially responsible business practices, leading the startup to win awards for its "Community Focus" program that invested in solutions to homelessness, at-risk youth and environmental degradation.

Other recognition included a Volunteer of the Year Award presented by former Sec. of State Colin Powell, the Community Hero Award from City Year Washington, Business Leader for the Environment Award from the Sierra Club and more recently the CEO Environmental Leadership Award from Alnoba that recognized ReVision's co-founders. 

At ReVision Energy, Phil engineered the cause-related marketing strategy and relationship-based sales approach that helped the company grow from a garage startup to one of the most respected clean energy companies in New England. He also helped lead the company's initial expansion from midcoast Maine to the greater Portland region, then spearheaded (with major support from Dan Clapp) the startup of ReVision's first out-of-state branch in Brentwood, NH, in 2010.

Over the years, he has been responsible for the development and management of the company's nationally recognized digital platforms while building a vast network of peer-to-peer 'analog' relationships and partnerships with public and private schools, nonprofits, municipalities, and businesses. He also helped launch the company's solar impact initiative that has enabled schools, nonprofits, and municipalities in northern New England to acquire solar at zero up-front cost. For the past 25 years, he has been a mentor in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters Program and lives in southern Maine with his family and a surfing Chihuahua named Kodak.
