About Claudia Garcia

Raised between the Highland Rim of Tennessee and the Highlands of Jalisco’s agave fields, I’ve long understood the juxtaposition of two distinct worlds. This early cross-cultural exposure sparked a deep passion for environmental and social development, leading me to contribute to projects across the globe—from Sri Lanka to Uruguay.I take pride in being impact-driven, combining strategic vision with hands-on execution. I thrive at the intersection of policy, technology, and community engagement, and I’m committed to building trust and momentum among diverse stakeholders.My work in Sustainability is especially focused on the energy industry, which sits at the heart of global change. I believe business has a vital role in driving long-term environmental and social sustainability—and that we must constantly strive to do better.If you want to talk about energy, sustainability, Mexican food, or need travel tips, let’s connect!
