Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Cooley is a seasoned CEO and entrepreneur with over a decade leading technology-driven HVAC and energy ventures, currently scaling NVIRIQ Inc. He has a track record of commercializing IP-protected physical products—most notably SunTrac HVAC systems that materially reduce electrical demand and CO2 emissions while producing unusually high ROI for customers. His background blends corporate leadership (EVP/COO roles and multiple CEO posts), board experience, and two decades of disciplined service as a U.S. Army Reserve officer, giving him operational rigor and crisis-tested team leadership. Based in Scottsdale, he’s skilled at building channel partnerships that rapidly multiply sales pipelines and attract investor types from entrepreneurial operators to ESG-focused funds. Not immediately obvious: his career consistently bridges service-driven public-sector roles and hands-on commercialization of hardware-enabled climate tech.
