ABOUT JEN OWENS

My work with data sits where the numerical meets the personal. I value collaborative work environments that bring together people and insights from different fields, and enjoy working within that environment to visualize complex data and convert it into tools for action and decision-making. As a Product Manager, I love working with people to put pieces of the big-picture puzzle together and am excited to be in the energy and natural resources field, where the puzzle we are putting together really matters. I promote development of software, data analytics and data science for utilities and natural resources, leading the transition from traditional methods and software to new cloud infrastructure, data science and sensor data analytics, and fast-paced innovation in an agile environment. These analytics and software products improve the understanding of electric transmission and distribution asset risks and will enable us to adapt investment planning in the changing energy landscape. New digital tools are key to our transformation into the energy system of the future - to incorporate more renewable generation, open new market opportunities and enable customers to be more involved in their energy landscape.
