I am an R&D Manager working in the green hydrogen sector, with over a decade of experience in electrochemical energy technologies and advanced materials. Passionate about innovation and technology development, I enjoy working at the interface of science, engineering, and industrial application to accelerate the energy transition.
As someone working in the green hydrogen sector, I see the importance of networks such as Women in Green Hydrogen not only in promoting diversity, but also in creating visibility and connections across a relatively small and rapidly evolving industry.
Throughout my career, I have often found myself being one of very few women in technical discussions, project meetings, or industry events. Seeing other women succeeding in engineering, research, and leadership roles helps challenge perceptions about who belongs in the sector and provides role models for those entering the industry.
I also believe these networks create opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange that are particularly valuable in an emerging field such as green hydrogen, where innovation depends on bringing together expertise from materials science, electrochemistry, engineering, manufacturing, and policy.
Most importantly, if the hydrogen industry is expected to solve global energy challenges, it needs to attract and retain the broadest possible range of talent and perspectives. Supporting and increasing the visibility of women in the sector is therefore not only important from an equality perspective, but also for the long-term success and competitiveness of the industry itself.
I am an R&D Manager and technology leader with over 10 years of experience in electrochemical energy technologies and the clean energy sector. My career has focused on leading innovation programmes, building collaborations across industry and academia, and guiding the development of technologies from concept through to industrial application.
