It's an exciting time to be working in the energy sector, and for a company that wants to usher in a new generation. Excited for this Girls with Energy Hackathon for our future STEM students. My daughter will be a participant in this initiative!

In the quest for a more efficient and reliable grid, AI technologies are proving to be indispensable. From predicting electricity-use patterns to extending the life of existing equipment through digital twins, AI is reshaping how we manage and optimize our power systems, enabling a more intelligent, flexible grid that can adapt to the evolving demands without compromising on reliability, affordability, or sustainability.

Check out this vintage badge! When you start a part-time job while going to college, you never really know where it will lead. Little did I know that my part-time gig would blossom into a career spanning 27 incredible years (so far) with a global energy powerhouse like Siemens Energy. It's been a journey filled with immense pride, growth, and the privilege of contributing to one of the most vital sectors shaping our world. Over the years, I've had the honor of working alongside brilliant minds and problem-solvers. All passionate individuals who design, build, and operate the power plants that keep our world running. It has never been boring! From supporting business development and strategy to executing conferences, supporting financials, and diving into marketing and communications, every day has been a learning experience, exposing me to the technologies and groundbreaking ideas that are reshaping our energy landscape. As I celebrate my 27th anniversary with the Siemens brand—from Westinghouse to Siemens Westinghouse, to Siemens, and now Siemens Energy—I'm truly grateful for the incredible people I've had the pleasure to work with. The support, teamwork, and shared passion for what we do, from customers to colleagues, have been the driving force behind my growth and success. Here's to many more years of innovation, growth, and making a difference together! #SiemensEnergy #TeamPurple

Celebrating a Milestone: It's been a year since Constellation, with Siemens Energy and EPRI, achieved a hydrogen blending breakthrough. This anniversary reminds us of the power of partnership in the fight against climate change. We often say we can’t do it alone, and fortunately, we don’t have to! Here's to many more years of innovation working together!

Celebrating the anniversary of Constellation's industry record for blending 38% hydrogen with natural gas, in partnership with Siemens Energy and EPRI. This game-changing initiative continues to inspire our journey towards a sustainable future. The hydrogen blending record stands as a testament to what we can achieve together. Here's to many more years of innovation working together! #Decarbonization #Hydrogen

How cool is it that Bill Gates visited our electrolyzer factory last week?!?!

Fresh from the Women Energy Network conference, I'm energized by the wealth of knowledge and unity in advancing the energy sector. Grateful for Siemens Energy's commitment to Inclusion and Diversity, which shines through support for such impactful events. 🔋 Key discussions on commercializing new energies highlighted the urgency for cost-effective, market-ready solutions and the power of partnerships and education in the energy transition. 🌱 The ESG Investments panel reinforced the critical role of ESG factors, with a focus on how technology, diversity, and inclusion drive better decision-making. 🌍 Novera Khan's keynote on the energy transition, with its 3D cube framework, was a stark reminder of the industry's global impact and the need for more women in energy roles. The staggering statistic that women make up only 16% of the energy workforce was a call to action for greater inclusivity. 🌟 Panels on the future of energy stressed the importance of AI, policy, and a skilled workforce in embracing a sustainable and inclusive energy landscape. 📚 Technology's role in energy was dissected, emphasizing hydrogen, AI, cloud computing, and the balance between innovation and risk management. 💡 AI's transformative impact on the energy industry was a key takeaway, with insights on enhancing efficiency and achieving decarbonization goals. 🏈 Closing Keynote Inspiration: Dr. Jen Welter's closing keynote was nothing short of motivational. Her journey as a trailblazer in football and her advice on leveraging one's power resonated deeply. Her call for authenticity and supporting one another in changing the game was a fitting end to an empowering conference. Networking at events like the Women Energy Network conference is an invaluable aspect of professional growth and industry advancement. These gatherings provide a unique platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaborations, and building relationships. The side conversations were engaging, allowing us to share personal experiences, and gain diverse perspectives that might not have surfaced in the formal sessions. Let's continue to drive change and champion diversity! #WENConference #WomenInEnergy #TeamPurple

What a great explanation and image to portray the current situation with AI and the energy transition.

Reflecting on an invigorating Day 1 at the WEN Conference, it's clear that the energy of the group is as dynamic as the industry we're all passionate about. The day started with a refreshing yoga session and ended with the WEN 30-year celebration gala. Here are the top 7 key takeaways from yesterday's sessions: 1. Multifaceted Professional Journeys: Speakers shared their diverse backgrounds, from chemical engineering to policy work, emphasizing agility and adaptability in our fast-paced industry. 2. The 3D Energy Transition: Decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are interlinked forces driving sustainable change. 3. Policy's Pivotal Role: Policy development is crucial, with industry expertise needed to guide outcomes that are both favorable and sustainable. 4. Digital Transformation: Modernizing legacy systems and embracing digitalization is key to improving efficiency and supporting new energy solutions. 5. Innovation and Investment: Continuous innovation and investment in both existing and emerging technologies are vital for the industry's future. 6. Collaboration for Change: Internal and external collaboration, including employee education and supply chain integration, is essential for the energy transition. 7. Geopolitical and Regulatory Navigation: Managing geopolitical and regulatory pressures is a must, with stakeholder management and risk mitigation being top priorities. As we look forward to today’s sessions, let's carry forward the momentum and the shared commitment to shaping a sustainable energy future. Julie Heckman and I are heading to catch our colleagues Linette Casey and Danielle Guccione presenting and moderating at the educational session “The Changing Technology Landscape” next. #WENConference #WomenInEnergy #TeamPurple
