Why advancing Women in Energy is so important

Advancing women in the energy sector is deeply personal to me. When women lead, we bring connection, empathy and courage to complex challenges — and that’s exactly what the energy transition needs. Creating space for women’s voices isn’t just about equality; it’s about shaping a stronger, more human future for our sector.
