Nolwenn Germain

What did you study (at school, college or university)?
I started my studies by an Electrical Engineering Diploma. Then I did a Business School. I wanted to have a global vision of the business in order to manage projects in my career

How did you get into technology?
Since I am young, I think access to energy is the 1st thing to improve the living conditions of all humans in this planet.

Indeed, without electricity you can’t have a fridge to stock food, children can’t learn and do their exercises for school. I sponsored one girl, every month, to give her the possibility to go to the school. And I have news from her and her family every quarter. I still keep an excellent memory of it.

The other thing is: I thought that the power of our Nature is enough to produce this electricity, especially the water. I dreamed to participate in the creation of an hydroelectric dam. So, I decided to go to pursue my studies in Electricity and then in Business School in order to have all knowledge for that.

During my studies and my career, I expand my dream. Today, my dream stays access to energy but sustainable energy and how we can together reduce our energy consumption on every continent.

So, I am proud to work for a company which consider Energy access and Energy Efficiency is a basic rights.
