"In conversation" with Juliet Davenport OBE, CEO & Founder of Good Energy

Our ‘In Conversation’ series aims to profile women working at the most senior levels of the UK energy sector – for visibility, inspiration and practical advice for aspiring women in our industry.

In Episode 1 of our ‘In Conversation…’ series with energy leaders recorded during the Covid-19 Pandemic, Juliet Davenport – CEO & Founder of Good Energy and member of PfW’s Energy Leaders’ Coalition – chats with POWERful Women Board Member and EI CEO Louise Kingham.

If somebody contacts me to work with us, I do always check out their boards and their execs. And I have to say I don’t tend to work with them if they are only men. Because they could potentially be stuck in group-think, they are probably riskier to work with as an organisation.”
