Elena Christopoulos Episode S01 EPS 324

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Elena Christopoulos. Elena Christopoulos is a Climate Scientist and Certified Sustainability Practitioner (CSPR) who implemented the first North American urban wind turbine in Toronto in 2000.  She has managed over 40 political and environmental campaigns worldwide, is a 
member of the Queen’s University Alumni Association Board, and is President of the Queen’s University Southern California Branch. Throughout her career, as a woman in science and politics, Elena has actively worked to bring more women and BIPOC to the table and be a voice for the LGBTQ2+ community. As the founder of ECMC management-consulting firm, she has helped create 500,000+ green jobs, 60% of which have gone to women and BIPOC. It is her goal to increase the percentage of female environmental scientists from 28% to 50% over her lifetime and to continue to develop STEM and STEAM programs. Elena has also worked hard on women’s issues as a speaker and member of Women of Wind Energy (WoWE), and as a Commissioner for the City of Santa Monica. Her primary role as Commissioner is to ensure that the city is a place where women and girls can fully 
realize their potential and have a strong voice in all aspects of the community. The Commission on the Status of Women explores policy and issues relevant to women and girls, and supports leadership and career advancement opportunities.. In this episode we discuss politics, science, job creation, women in entrepreneurship and leadership, connection and consulting.
