Favorite industry:
I love working in climate tech because it bridges the gap between innovation and impact. The business opportunity around climate tech is clear and it’s an exciting time to be in an industry working to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and get the U.S. closer to achieving a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.
Favorite trip I’ve taken:
I’ve hiked two routes of the Camino de Santiago, Spain’s famous pilgrimage trail and one of the world's most popular walking holidays and spiritual journeys. Most recently I walked 120 kilometers from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France into Logroño, Spain, and did the route solo – but the magic of the Camino is all of the characters you meet along the way. I made friends with a girl from Taiwan, a 78-year-old man hiking the Camino for the (5th!) time in honor of his late brother, and two sisters who came from Australia. The entire route is almost 800 km and I hope to go back every year and complete another part of it.
