Courtney has the distinct pleasure of serving as both the Vice President and General Manager of ENGIE Services U.S. and the Vice President and Head of the Distributed Energy Solutions organization within ENGIE North America. ENGIE's national team is focused on engineering, financing, and implementing transformative sustainability solutions for educational, governmental, healthcare and C&I entities across the U.S., with an aim to accelerate the energy transition through the integration and optimization of low-carbon solutions on our customers' sites, including distributed generation, energy efficiency, resiliency, and eMobility offerings.

Prior to these roles, Courtney has served in a series of expansive management positions within key commercial, operational, and strategic leadership functions with ENGIE, OpTerra, and Chevron’s clean-tech division, all of which centered around driving our customers’ sustainability transformations and building high-performing business lines. As a ferocious champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, I had the honor of co-founding our ENGIE Services Women in Networking group and continue to serve on the ENGIE North American Culture and Values Leadership Team (CVLT). Concurrently, Courtney is proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Energy Services Companies (NAESCO), a leading voice for industry advocacy and policy-shaping in the U.S. market.
