Founder, CEO

A born innovator, Stuart Lombard’s destiny was set by the age of 12 when he began building a foldable canoe that could be carried around in a briefcase. After leading two successful technology companies to acquisition and after eight years as a partner at a venture capital firm, Stuart found himself on a mission to reduce his own environmental footprint. He co-founded ecobee in 2007 with the mission to improve everyday life while creating a more sustainable world. Since launching the world’s first Wi-Fi connected smart thermostat, ecobee has helped customers across North America save more than 25 TWh of energy, which is the equivalent of taking all the homes in Los Angeles off the grid for a year. In late 2021, ecobee was acquired by Generac for nearly $1 billion CAD, with Stuart remaining CEO. Today, Stuart continues to empower people to transform their lives, homes, communities, and planet with innovative and accessible solutions.
