Bio

I lead Google’s team responsible for developing and scaling advanced clean energy technologies, through strategic investments, offtake, and partnerships, to achieve Google’s global 24/7 carbon-free energy and net zero goals. This includes building partnerships to deploy advanced nuclear reactors, to scaling offtake for next-gen geothermal power, to building demand for long duration energy storage and more. You can read more about my team's work here.

Prior to Google, I served as Senior Advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Chief Commercialization Officer, and as Chief Strategist for the Loan Programs Office, driving the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff effort to inform DOE’s billion-dollar Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act investments in clean energy and carbon technologies.

Before jumping into the clean energy space, I led quant & data science teams across private, public, and non-profit organizations. As Chief Analytics Officer at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), I built a team of analysts, data scientists, and engineers that brought quantitative evidence to the Supreme Court, to our legislatures, and to the public through research on issues as diverse as voting rights, immigration, and criminal justice. We improved the efficacy of the the ACLU's fundraising, member engagement, and voter outreach through testing and analysis. Sitting at the nexus of civil liberties and the use of data and technology, we informed data and AI policies.

As part of McKinsey’s Washington D.C. office, I worked with public and private sector clients across defense, transportation, revenue, and infrastructure. I helped build McKinsey's public sector analytics practice, which brings modern data and analytics capabilities to government functions. In 2016, I served as the Deputy Director of Data Science for the Hillary for America campaign.

I'm an MIT Engineer, with a dual degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and Economics, and hold an M.A. in Economics from Harvard.

Some of my favourite things include:

• Hiking (up next - the Dolomites, and hoping to one day belong to this club)
• Ballet
• A daily dose of math

I'm also the proud mama of two boys, Maxwell and Felix. Meet my better half (media naranja) here.
