Speaker Bio:
Jo-Jo Hubbard (NC 2000-2005) is the founder of Electron, an EnTech company whose mission is to find value in clean energy networks where value is being wasted. When Jo-Jo was at Marlborough renewable energy wasn’t yet an established market but whilst living in Russia, after graduating from Oxford University, Jo-Jo had a lightbulb moment about the opportunity renewables present and she pursued a career in investment banking and with consultancy McKinsey to develop her idea further, before starting Electron – now four years old.
About the Sustainability Forum:
The Sustainability Society was founded to connect Marlburians who can support each other in their pursuit to build a more sustainable future, whether this takes the form of helping younger Marlburians find work placements and jobs in the sector to helping entrepreneurs find the influence they need in certain areas. The premise is that we can have a bigger impact as a collective. As such, we will retain a networking element of the event and invite members of the audience to speak with Jo-Jo following 30 minutes of discussion, which will be led by the College’s Sustainability Group.
