“It is an honour to be named as one of the Trailblazing Women in Energy. Empowering women and recognizing their pivotal role in the energy sector will yield transformative outcomes, including improved energy access, reduced emissions, and socio-economic advancements” – Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO & Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All, and Co-Chair of UN-Energy.
“My advice to women in science and in the industry is to believe in yourself, be bold and resilient, build a strong support network around you, and continuously invest in learning. Develop effective communication skills, advocate for your contributions, support and lift each other up and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Embrace and leverage diversity, lead with empathy and inspire the next generation. Because in the end, success is about the positive difference you make in people’s life.” - Sandra Silvestri, EVP, Chief Medical Officer, Ipsen
“Sustainability has been a lifelong passion for me, and it’s been a privilege to spend my career working on sustainability innovation in the public and private sectors. I’m honored to be included in this outstanding group of women leaders helping to build a better, more sustainable future, for my daughter, and for all future generations.” – Kate Brandt, Chief Sustainability Officer, Google
