About

I lead global communications for Power Systems, Schneider Electric’s largest division. My experience spans external and internal marketing communications, including executive thought leadership, press relations, analyst relations, editorial content strategy, partner and vendor relationship management, and digital marketing. I manage a diverse international team that is responsible for marketing communication about energy management across many industrial segments, including transmission and distribution grids, renewable and traditional power generation, heavy industries, semiconductor manufacturing, mobility, and transportation. I’m proud of the business impact my team makes, particularly in driving lead generation for our global commercial organizations, launching new offers, and closely partnering with Schneider Electric’s zone and country teams to launch high-performance marketing and marcom campaigns locally. I do this work because I appreciate the importance of speeding up the energy transition and because I am fascinated by how today's energy management technologies can tame power system complexity across industries and infrastructure. To that end, I've also worked in industry trade associations to gain the support of policymakers and regulators whose decisions affect the pace and progress of electrification. Outside of my professional life, I like to be outside, preferably in the mountains.
