Bio
Pascal R.
Having met Meredith as a Master of Science student in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution program at Columbia University and having been her thesis adviser, I have had the opportunity and privilege to witness hergrow and mature into the Clean Energy Expert that she is today. Her research work and her practical outlook differentiates her from her peers as she is focusing on providing a clear and balanced persuasive argumentation for the use of clean energy, without lashing out at the corporate side of the discussion, therefore seeking a win-win solution for the most important parties involved in the constant discussion: the government, the business, and, most importantly, the customer or "little Joe" who might be able to benefit as well. It is that differentiated and well-balanced view on the subject matter that qualifies Meredith not just as a passionate advocate but also as an expert in the field.

When I think of Meredith Collins, the following adjectives come immediately to mind: creative, innovative, passionate, intelligent, savvy, assiduous, professional, committed, dedicated and energetic, as well as good hearted, compassionate, warm and kind. When we collaborated on certain projects during our studies in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution at Columbia, Meredith's contributions were always insightful, frequently "out-of-the-box," while logical and smart. She also has the ability to communicate complex topics in a clear and stimulating manner, and always with charm and humor. Meredith strives for excellence and consistently delivers. Her impressive Master’s Thesis at Columbia reflected her expertise in and utter passion for Clean Energy, and her research and innovative recommendations already have begun to catch the eye of some prominent individuals in the field. Any organization that engages Meredith will be indeed fortunate to have such an exceptional individual.
