Robin Roy
Besides raising my two kids, my life’s work has been to help meet society’s need for secure, economic, and clean energy. I’m particularly drawn to the practicalities of effective public policy, the capabilities of dynamic and emerging businesses, and the opportunity created by technological and institutional innovation.

Our future is bright, as long as we get on with it.
