WEN Boston President Elect Named C3E Finalist
WEN Boston is thrilled to announce that the Clean Energy Education & Empowerment (C3E) Initiative Ambassadors has named President-Elect Linette Casey a finalist for its annual Business Excellence Award to recognize mid-career women’s leadership and achievement in clean energy.
The U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Initiative is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy, MIT Energy Initiative, Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy, and the Texas A&M Energy Institute working together to close the gender gap and increase participation, leadership, and success of women in clean energy fields.
Ms. Casey’s finalist status is confirmation of her leadership both at WEN Boston and her career at Siemens Energy where she has worked for 20 years. Her work focuses on helping customers across the energy sector decarbonize their operations thru various renewable modalities, including storage, wind, solar, and hydrogen. She oversees a nationwide team that is introducing new technologies to help decarbonize multiple complex energy systems. Linette also has a keen focus on various ESG topics such as Sustainability and Diversity and how these topics impact the renewable landscape, specifically in the U.S. She is pursuing a graduate course at Harvard University focused on Corporate Sustainability & Innovation.
As a member of the board of directors of WEN Boston, she brings her lifelong passion for providing opportunities for women in energy to network and gain valuable career-advancing skills. Most recently, she is co-chairing a committee mentoring college-aged women pursuing careers in energy in the Boston area.
Please join us in congratulating Linette on this prestigious acknowledgment of her work in the energy industry.
