What does it mean to power a country — or a conversation?
In this episode, Sandra Helayel, Director of International Affairs and Sustainability at GE Vernova, brings a deeply personal perspective to the global energy transition. Coming from Lebanon, where electricity still isn’t available 24/7, she witnessed firsthand how energy access defines daily life. Today, she works on the world stage, shaping energy policy and building partnerships that push for sustainable, scalable solutions.
Sandra explains why energy is the backbone of development — from hospitals and schools to the technology we use every day. While headlines often focus on climate or innovation, she reminds us that millions still live without stable electricity, and that true progress means meeting countries where they are — whether that’s electrification or decarbonization.
She also shares behind-the-scenes insights from COP28, where she championed stronger collaboration between governments and the private sector. And as one of the few women in leadership in a traditionally male-dominated industry (women still represent only about 20% of the energy workforce), Sandra speaks candidly about the gender gap in energy — and why she’s pushing for more diverse voices to lead the sector forward.
This is a conversation about energy, yes — and it’s also about impact, equity, and powering a brighter future.
【Her Story】

  1. Career in Energy: her reflections
  2. How policy and business must align for impact
