Lake Tahoe Entrepreneur Chosen to Keynote Tahoe Entrepreneurship Summit
Roger Wittenberg, creator of North Lake Tahoe’s latest project – Boulder Bay, has been chosen as keynote speaker for the Tahoe Entrepreneurship Summit.
Wittenberg’s background as a scientist, entrepreneur and inventor has led him to found several companies that focus on recycling materials into reusable products. His most successful venture, the Trex Company(TM), has turned billions of pounds of recycled and reclaimed plastic, including 1.3 billion grocery retail bags and waste wood each year, into alternative wood products. During Wittenberg’s tenure at Trex, 1996 to 2003, sales grew from $23 million to $191 million with a successful public offering in 1999.
After retiring from Trex(TM), Roger founded International Supply Consortium LLC, which takes on projects that use innovative building technologies and real estate projects that utilize these same sustainable materials. Read more:
