Emma has had a hyper focused career on power delivery and energy resilience, focused primarily on the electric industry in multiple countries. She moved to the US 17 years ago to avoid a career working in the rain in substations in Scotland, and worked at multiple national labs and in the electric grid industry. The last few years were spent working on successfully persuading some of the least resourced utilities in the country to implement basic controls. She spends the majority of her spare time running or cycling up hills, rescuing dogs and recovering from an alternate career as a triathlete.
