Giulia Siccardo, formerly a partner at McKinsey & Company, has been appointed director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains.
She was among the nine DOE appointees announced on Friday who will work alongside U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to address the Biden administration’s national climate goals and energy infrastructure investments.
The office under Siccardo oversees department-backed programs meant to expand clean manufacturing and workforce capabilities throughout the country as well as engages with the private sector to sustain energy supply chains.
Siccardo previously led McKinsey’s green growth service line and its Frontier carbon removal partnership with several other companies under a $1 billion advance market commitment. The nearly 11-year company veteran has worked with business clients to help them implement low-carbon systems and value chain strategies.
Before McKinsey, she was Adobe Systems’ global sustainability coordinator focused on initiatives to procure clean energy and reduce data center emissions.
