About Elaine Gowdy
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve taken on roles in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors focused on helping others and making a positive impact in the word. I thrive working in complex organizations where I’m passionate about the mission, purpose, and values. I’m laser focused on organizational goals and how they deliver value to clients, customers, or constituents. And I love working with inspiring leaders - helping them to execute their visions while highlighting opportunities for improving operations, reducing inefficiencies, and fostering a strong team culture.Always eager to take on new projects, I’m adept at identifying key stakeholders, collaborating with colleagues, and managing high impact teams. Currently, as the Associate Vice President, EDF+Business I lead strategic operations and planning for our team of 50+ people who engage with companies and investors to create a more sustainable world for all people.
