I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the extraordinary 23,000 employees of PG&E and to support their efforts to safely serve 16 million Californians.

I never thought of myself as a woman leader or Latina leader; I just thought of myself as a leader.
I fell in love with electricity.
I'd like to see a world where there are so many Latina women leaders - and women of all different backgrounds - in the top jobs around the country. When that happens, we've succeeded.
Don't be afraid to take the tough jobs. You'll develop confidence in dealing with tough issues that will serve you for the rest of your career.
By expanding the state's EV infrastructure, PG&E is continuing to help California meet its climate goals while making it more convenient for our customers to choose clean, affordable electricity to fuel their vehicles.
I realized I could work for a manufacturer or a hospital, or I could work for a company that enables the manufacturer, the hospital, and everything else.
Over the years, I really focused on doing the best job I could, working hard, getting great results, and working with my teams.
I'm the first person in my family to go to college, and I'm an immigrant. My aspirations coming out of college weren't particularly lofty. I wanted a good job with a good company.
I've got revolutionary blood in my blood.
I liked helping my parents, feeling useful, feeling smart.
I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger than that.
We will never forget the lessons that we learned as a result of San Bruno. It's really caused us to focus on safety with a laser-like sort of manner. There's always more work to be done.
We're very committed... to make sure the energy that we are delivering to our customers is as clean as it can be.
You don't have to be in the power business to be a powerful woman.
What I see with the utility industry is, more and more, we're taking up this belief that our workforce, our leadership ranks, our board should be reflective of the community that we serve.
When you understand your customer base, you have to provide them with what they want.
We have, here in California, among the most ambitious climate goals in the country. It's not just our political leaders or our regulators that really wants these things.
The people of California really like innovation.
We greatly value the contributions of all of our employees.
California continues to lead the nation in the fight against climate change, and electrifying our transportation sector is the next game changer.
