Vanessa Bertelli

I am an executive with 25 years of experience in corporate law, regulation, policy, advocacy, engagement, and strategic communications. I have worked in the private sector, in intergovernmental organizations, and in scrappy not for profit startups. I now work for my children, to ensure they can live healthy lives on this planet. The nonprofit I lead accelerates the decarbonization of residential buildings in the DC region, and, by ripple effect, across the United States. Electrify DC engages, educates, and convenes stakeholder across sectors and income levels to increase energy affordability, improve health outcomes, and reduce carbon emissions. Check what we do here electrifydc.org/about. I have a law degree from Université de Lausanne, a masters of laws from University College London, and a master in business administration from INSEAD. I am quoted in publications such as The Washington Post and The Atlantic. I have worked on four continents, speak five languages, and have three kids.
