Sandra is a former Board Director of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund. Since she has also delivered proposals and pitched to clients, Sandra sympathizes with contestants on the art of compressing many hours of labour into a short elevator pitch. Sandra’s background is in alternative energy. She helped launch a new business line, Hydrogen Energy, at Air Liquide, the world’s leading supplier of chemical gases. She cut her teeth managing corporate clients and international teams while problem-solving the regulatory hurdles inherent to nascent technologies (like hydrogen fuel cells). To reduce the barriers to commercialization, Sandra published Canada’s first guide on the regulatory processes around hydrogen technologies. Sandra is a new MBA Finance graduate from HEC Paris International Business School. She is also a chemical engineering graduate from the University of Toronto.
