In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
In May, 2014, I was elected as the executive director of the New York Energy Consumers Council, the largest intervener in electric rate cases in NYC. The NYECC represents some of the most prestigious commercial real estate owners, hospitals and universities, and it has saved New York City rate payers over $5 billion dollars in avoided energy costs. I'm proud to lead this extraordinary organization.
What was your first job and what did you learn from it?
In my first job after college I was a high school English teacher. I learned the importance of multi-tasking, being compassionate, setting goals, and being a role model to young men and women.
