Powerhouse的动态

Podcast People, This month, I’m honored to share my conversation with Fiona Spruill, CEO of Overstory, a pioneering software company that partners with utilities to predict and prevent wildfires caused by vegetation encroachment, ensuring a more reliable power grid. I spoke to Fiona about her journey; from growing up in three very different cultures, to her seminal experiences working at the The New York Times and Meetup, to her transition into climate tech, to the evolution of her career at Overstory, from Chief Product Officer, to Chief People Officer, to her decision to step in as CEO. Overstory employs more than 60 people representing 16 nationalities, has raised $32 million, and has partnerships with over 50 utilities across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. In our conversation Fiona shared, “I knew it might not work out. And I knew that Overstory might not succeed, as many startups don't. But I was really excited about the team. I was excited about the technology, and I was excited about learning and being able to have that experience of zero to one. Building a product is just such a gift and it's so much fun.” Tune in to my conversation with Fiona via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
