Born in Northeast Brazil, Roger Timoteo’s journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and innovation. Despite humble beginnings, his passion for technology and renewable energy set him on a path to transform industries.

At the age of 19, with just $400 in his pocket and limited English skills, Roger immigrated to the United States in search of opportunity. His early years were marked by perseverance—taking on entry-level jobs such as dishwashing, demolition, and general construction, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. These experiences built his work ethic and deepened his understanding of the infrastructure industry.

Determined to forge his own path, Roger leveraged his IT background from Brazil to establish himself in IT repair, graphic design, and construction in the U.S. His breakthrough came with the founding of Vista Group in 2010, where he pioneered the development of Louisiana’s first solar thermal air conditioning system. This groundbreaking innovation positioned him as a leader in sustainable energy.

In 2015, he rebranded his company as The Next Energy Technology, specializing in commercial renewable energy solutions, including solar power, LED lighting, cool roof coatings, and energy-efficient retrofitting. His expertise soon attracted a roster of high-profile clients, including prominent figures in the film industry such as Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, and many others.

Today, as the CEO of The Next Group Ventures, Roger leads a diverse portfolio of companies specializing in clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, real estate investment, and off-grid security solutions. With expansions into Texas and Florida, his company is at the forefront of driving sustainable transitions for commercial and industrial clients across multiple states.

Beyond business, Roger is deeply committed to giving back to the community. He has actively supported local sports teams like LSU, the New Orleans Saints, and the Pelicans, while also engaging in philanthropic initiatives. His vision extends beyond business—he seeks to create a lasting social impact by supporting communities through sustainability-driven projects and social initiatives.

Roger Timoteo’s journey is a true embodiment of the American dream—one fueled by resilience, innovation, and a commitment to a sustainable future. Through his collaboration with the U.S., he has not only built a thriving enterprise but also contributed to the nation’s clean energy revolution. By helping businesses transition to renewable solutions, Roger is making a lasting impact on the planet while empowering communities with cutting-edge technology. His story serves as an inspiration to entrepreneurs worldwide, proving that with vision and determination, it is possible to create a greener, more sustainable world for future generations.
