ALLY Energy

Last week we held our annual Friendsgiving at Baker Hughes. ALLY Unplugged was an opportunity to disconnect from devices to have intimate discussions about talent and culture, and the emerging purpose economy. For a decade, we’ve created safe spaces for energy leaders to develop grit, discuss challenging topics and to forge new relationships. Happy Thanksgiving!

What are these two visionary CEOs Katie Mehnert and Simon Seaton cooking up for the energy workforce of the future? Stay tuned. But be sure to check out and follow the work of the Society of Petroleum Engineers International.

Congratulations to all of the GRIT Awards & Best Energy Workplaces finalists and winners. We raise a glass to all of you! Katherine Zimmerman with Wood And thanks to Wood for your sponsorship of this years toast. To get the photo recaps visit https://lnkd.in/gt4fdnEX

For the second year in a row, we are thrilled to share that our EDPR NA team has been recognized with the Best Energy Workplace Award by ALLY Energy’s Grit Awards 2024. ⚡🏆 Additionally, our EDPR NA CEO, Sandhya Ganapathy, received an individual award for her #leadership in the #energy sector – The Executive Award. Special thank you to the Ally Energy team, especially Katie Mehnert, Lindsay Roe, and Kevin McMinn for another fantastic award ceremony and event.   Receiving acknowledgment from the #Houston community on the advances we have made on the ED&I front is truly humbling. We still have much to do ahead of us as the broader energy industry, but this week’s GRIT Awards provided a moment to celebrate successes made - and the allyship needed - to continue the impact we are making. #awardceremony #award #bestworkplace #renewables #energytransition #EDPRNA

“It’s not about winning or losing; it’s about showing up and being seen.” – Brené Brown “If you’re not in the arena getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.” – Brené Brown These words rang true at today’s GRIT Awards, where I had the honor of being invited by Katie Mehnert , CEO of ALLY Energy. Surrounded by visionary leaders dedicated to energy and sustainability, I felt inspired to learn from individuals who are paving the way for a sustainable future like Dr. Jan E. Odegard . Witnessing awardees who are actively addressing environmental and energy challenges reinforced my commitment to making impactful contributions to the field. Listening to Vicki Hollub, CEO of OXY, was particularly meaningful—her insights reminded me of the resilience and strategic vision it takes to drive progress in energy and sustainability. Katie’s leadership in supporting sustainable energy initiatives and empowering others to be part of this journey is truly motivating. Thank you, Katie Mehnert , for an unforgettable experience that has deepened my drive to contribute to sustainable energy solutions. #GRITAwards #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation #Leadership #CleanEnergy #Inspiration #Networking #ALLYEnergy
