Women in Climate/Energy Meetup - AUGUST 2025

​​This is a monthly virtual (via zoom) meetup for women who work in, or want to work in, climate and the energy transition.

​​We will use a Lean Coffee format, where we co-create the agenda real-time and get through the topics that are most interesting to the group. Each month we'll pick an industry learning theme and a jobs related theme to focus on.

​For August we're featuring the following topics and wonderful guests:

​TOPIC 1: GRID RESILIENCE

​Featuring Heather Moore who is VP of engineering at Overstory, a climate resilience company that uses AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, Overstory  helps prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.

TOPIC 2: MINING AND INVESTING

​Featuring Alexandra Iljadica is an investor at BHP Ventures, the corporate venture unit within BHP, a leading global resources company. Alexandra leads investments across clean energy and industrial technologies in areas like green steel, geothermal, critical minerals, hydrogen, and waste-to-value innovations.
