02 — Background

Meet
“KD” Jordan

The nickname is just her initials. Early in her career a regional manager kept shortening Katie Jordan to “KD” on call sheets and text threads, and within a year nobody in the industry used anything else. Sixteen years later, half the people she places still don't know her full name — they know who picks up the phone.

That's the whole business model. KD knows who is quietly looking, who is about to open a new market, and which offices burn people out inside a season. That context is the product — not a keyword search.

“You don't place good people off a job board. You place them because you know them, and you know the room you're putting them in.”
  • Direct. You get a real conversation and a straight read on fit, comp and market.
  • Relationship-first. Candidates aren't inventory. Clients aren't req numbers.
  • Every application, personally. She works each one herself — no resume black holes. You hear back: yes, no, or not yet.

03 — Supply side

Direct manufacturer sourcing

KD also works directly with Chinese module and equipment manufacturers. For EPCs, dealers and developers, that means one person who can help you connect supply and talent in the same conversation.

  • Modules

    Mono PERC, TOPCon and bifacial lines — container and MOQ-level introductions.

  • Inverters

    String, hybrid and microinverter suppliers, matched to your stack and warranty needs.

  • Racking & Mounting

    Roof-mount, ballasted and ground-mount systems from established factory partners.

  • Storage & Batteries

    Residential and C&I battery lines, including pairing with existing inverter platforms.

  • Factory-direct pricing conversations, opened directly with the manufacturer
  • Container and MOQ-level intros — sized to what you actually move
  • Logistics coordination support: freight, timing and delivery sequencing
  • Warm handoffs, not a spreadsheet of cold contacts

Honest disclaimer: KD facilitates introductions between buyers and manufacturers. She is not the manufacturer of record, not a distributor, and does not warrant, sell or guarantee any equipment. All pricing, specifications, certifications, warranty terms and contracts are agreed directly between you and the supplier. Do your own diligence.
