Q&A with Mike
What excites you most about your work in IBR and grid reliability?
Grid reliability ensures lights stay on, hospitals operate, data centers run, and economies function. My work allows me to contribute, in a small but meaningful way, to the backbone of modern civilization, solving problems that have real, immediate impact.
What role do you think diverse leadership plays in advancing grid reliability and energy transition?
We are currently experiencing a generational shift in how power is generated and used. The needs and requirements are fundamentally different which requires a shift in how we approach solutions. A diverse perspective is critical to drive new and innovative ideas that break the mold.
