EP. 139 [EN] From Power to Policy: Leading the Global Energy Shift with Sandra Helayel
Imagine having electricity only several hours a day — that’s still the reality today in Sandra's home country, Lebanon, where people rely on generators just to keep the lights on. Meanwhile, advanced technologies like AI are consuming more power than ever; a single ChatGPT prompt can use 10x more energy than a Google search. In this episode, Sandra, Director of International Affairs and Sustainability at GE Vernova, shares how her personal journey shaped her global work in sustainable energy — and why the future of energy must be both innovative and inclusive. From policy-making at COP28 to advocating for more women in leadership, she offers a powerful lens on how energy access transforms lives.
