# Mark Swanson

> Mark Swanson is the CEO of Aeromine Technologies, a Houston-based renewable energy startup building a patented, motionless rooftop wind system designed to sit on the edge of commercial buildings and generate power without spinning blades. A mechanical engineer by training (Stanford, then Michigan) and a 30-year operations leader who spent 12 years scaling rooftop solar at SunPower, Borrego Solar and Complete Solaria, Swanson took the helm in January 2025 to drag a tricky, long-stalled idea - viable distributed wind - from pilot rooftops into full-scale manufacturing. He inherited six units in the field, a pipeline of roughly 14,000 inbound inquiries, and a thesis that the future rooftop is solar plus wind plus storage.
