Meet Our Founder & Executive Director
"Utility leaders are navigating uncharted territory, making critical decisions to keep us safe and sustain our way of life amid increasing extreme weather events, aging infrastructure, aggressive energy transition goals, and ever-changing customer expectations. Traditional leadership approaches aren't going to get us to where we need to go.
Our industry needs a new breed of leaders—inquisitive, agile, and influential, and transformational. U2030 exists to help leaders, seasoned and emerging, build these critical capabilities so they can create a ripple effect and be a force multiplier for change. We are honored to support amazing people doing amazing things and leaving a legacy that future generations will celebrate."
As a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) certified by WBENC and CPUC Supplier Clearinghouse, we prioritize diversity of thought and inclusion in everything we do.
