By NRG Editorial Voices

Happy New Year! We’re back with another NRG People Power blog, and we’re pleased to introduce you to more of the people behind our products and services. In this edition, we’re excited for you to get to know our Managing Director of Integrated Channels, Jamie Guinn.

A recipe for perfection

Baking and decorating a gourmet cake isn’t easy. Any dedicated baker will tell you that you can’t be casual about it. It needs creativity, thought, and care. Measurements matter and little mistakes can have a big impact. You must be all-in on the process from beginning to end, and if you are, it’s well worth it.

In another life, Jamie Guinn says she would have had a bakery. She’s known among family and friends for her intricately decorated cakes, cheesecakes, and cookies. She finds the baking process a relaxing way to channel her perfectionism and attention to detail, while making her family happy.

And these valuable traits carry over into her work for NRG, even if the frosting doesn’t.

She’s got the right ingredients

Jamie has been with NRG for 19 years and in the energy sector for more than 20. With an Economics degree from Washington & Jefferson College, she started her career working for a natural gas pipeline company, did some gas trading, and then made the jump to Strategic Energy. From Strategic Energy she moved to Direct Energy, and then to NRG, gathering broad experience working in departments like Operations, Portfolio Strategy, Indirect Sales, and Strategic Sales.

In her current role as Managing Director of Integrated Sales Channels, Jamie leads a team partnering with the largest and most complex energy brokers and consultants across the country, including those handling government accounts. With market variation and change in the industry, she knows that customers need consistency and someone they can rely on to serve their unique energy goals. Her focus is connecting brokers with NRG team members who best fit their business needs, based on personality, experience, and regional knowledge.

Customer Focus is a piece of cake

Like a complex recipe with multiple steps and ingredients, energy brokers and consultants do business with thousands of customers of all different flavors, and they want a retail energy provider who can whip it all up into a satisfying solution for those customers. That’s where Jamie and her team come in. Finding the right recipe for a successful strategy, perfectly tailored to a customer’s tastes, is her favorite part of the job.

For Jamie and her team, each day is different, as is each project – they may be closing a huge deal, building a custom strategy, or addressing a crucial concern for a customer with a flexible and responsive resolution. The team is well-versed in all markets and products, stays on top of market trends and innovations, and remains agile in order to switch gears between accounts at a moment’s notice. At the helm, Jamie skillfully manages all her mixtures, ensuring each solution rises to perfection.

All boss, no sauce

When she isn’t giving her brokers world-class service, Jamie is a busy mom to teenage sons Gavin and Braden. She can often be found driving them to and from soccer and basketball practices, helping with team fundraisers and boosters, and being everyone’s favorite provider of team snacks.

Jamie, her husband Brad, the boys, and the rest of the family are Steelers season ticket holders and love tailgating for games with all their favorite cookout foods. Just don’t offer her any ketchup! Though it’s nearly a crime in Pittsburgh, the hometown of the famous Heinz brand, Jamie doesn’t care for condiments of any variety. But her family doesn’t seem to mind this quirk, since she’s generous with the frosting and sprinkles on her bakes.

Winding down after a busy day, Jamie enjoys light reading and television that doesn’t need a lot of careful attention. She likes to chill out with the latest edition of People magazine, or an episode of “Virgin River” with her two German Shorthaired Pointers, Maggie and Maya, by her side.

The cherry on top

Early in her career, after a disappointing experience, Jamie knew how she would lead a team if she was ever in a position to do so. Today, she holds her team to a high standard of kindness and respect for each other and our customers. She knows the key ingredient is the relationship. Get that right, and you’ll share a table with loyal customers for years to come.

The Integrated Sales team serves the most complex C&I brokers across the U.S., including Federal government accounts. This team of 30 requires expertise across all markets and collaborates with nearly every department in the NRG organization. They support power, gas, demand response, sustainability offerings, and ancillary products.

Inspiration for a greener world can come from unexpected places. For Merck scientist François Lévesque, it came from the pet store. This is the amazing story of how creativity and Green Chemistry made drug development more sustainable.

Watch the video here: How Indigenous perspectives can guide climate innovation for a just transition: IBM teams up with Net Zero Atlantic in Canada

The windswept province of Nova Scotia lies on Canada’s Atlantic coast, and comprises part of Mi’kma’ki, the traditional districts of the Mi’kmaq First Nations people. In recent years, Nova Scotia has become a promising site for the clean energy transition, with some of the world’s fastest offshore wind speeds and potential for hydrogen development.

But too often, conversations about the impact of energy development in the region do not include Indigenous perspectives or are inaccessible to people outside of the energy industry. Around the world, many vulnerable communities need support to participate in the energy transition. And while climate technology is minimizing impact and helping to make informed energy decisions, the next step in a just transition is to democratize this information and put it in the hands of communities.

Implementing science and technology alongside Indigenous knowledge and community engagement is an essential approach to address climate challenges, one that is known as “two-eyed seeing.” To support a just transition, IBM® joined forces with nonprofit Net Zero Atlantic through the IBM Sustainability Accelerator to help enable informed climate decision-making and empower participation in the clean energy transition for Indigenous communities in Atlantic Canada.

A user-first approach to climate tech

Net Zero Atlantic’s open source Atlantic Canada Energy System (ACES) Model is a powerful tool for analyzing and forecasting energy generation and infrastructure development scenarios. To describe and interpret future energy system opportunities with accuracy, both computing power and technical knowledge are often required from the user, which can frequently make such tools feel inaccessible.

The IBM Sustainability Accelerator and Net Zero Atlantic set out to transform this complex resource into a user-friendly, accessible application that would support the Mi’kmaq communities’ role in energy planning and the transition to net zero, taking a user-first approach from the onset of the project’s first phase, the IBM Garage.

“It’s a very new way of looking at an energy system model, really looking at it from the user perspective,” says Sven Scholtysik, Director of Research at Net Zero Atlantic. “It’s usually the other way around. People try to create the most accurate and most advanced model possible—but there’s very little insight into how people use it and what motivates them to use it.”

The design of “ACES Lite” is focused on enabling the user to navigate complex graphs, geographical models and data interpretations with ease. The application puts user experience first, utilizing IBM technology like hybrid cloud and IBM® Cognos® Analytics alongside the expertise of volunteers from IBM Consulting® and more. And through Net Zero Atlantic’s long-standing relationship with the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, ACES Lite has undergone important interactive testing sessions with Mi’kmaq users to generate usability feedback and refine the tool further.

“One of our key roles is to engage community. We do science, but we also engage community to bring forth the traditional knowledge that can be incorporated into that work,” says Lisa Young, Executive Director of the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources. “The idea guiding this development was, ‘How can this tool inform how the community engages in the conversation about the energy transition? How does it help them make informed decisions?’”

Two-eyed seeing and the importance of collaboration

Implementing technology alongside Indigenous knowledge is an approach known as two-eyed seeing, described by Mi’kmaq Elder Dr. Albert Marshall. Lisa Young shares that this is a guiding approach for the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources, and one that the project with Net Zero Atlantic and IBM has incorporated.

“Two-eyed seeing means utilizing the best of Western science and technology, but also pairing it with the best of Indigenous perspectives, knowledge, and wisdom—so, how to use that knowledge in a good way, having a positive impact on the environment,” says Young. “In order to bring that perspective, you have to engage community broadly, to help us bring the knowledge from the land and guide us on how we advance the work.”

Scholtysik emphasizes the value of collaboration on this project with both IBM and the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources. He notes the expertise and enthusiasm of the IBM project team as a highlight of the organization’s time in the IBM Sustainability Accelerator. Other communities in Canada, such as the government of Nova Scotia, offshore wind groups, and academic and research teams have also participated in the ideation and testing process thus far, expressing excitement about the tool’s potential applications across the province.

What’s next for ACES Lite

As a next step, IBM and Net Zero Atlantic will continue to pilot ACES Lite with user groups in Cape Breton, while also exploring new innovations and additions. Feedback from the community has helped to identify where the user experience can be enhanced—for example, an opportunity to enhance the visualization aspects of land usage associated with the development of diverse clean energy technologies, and incorporating a feature that represents the economic impact of such projects. Scholtysik looks forward to bringing the application to the public by the end of 2024 and can even see its potential for deployment in other regions undergoing energy transition.

“Energy system models are an excellent tool for people to have at their fingertips,” says Scholtysik. “Models like ACES Lite can make it easier for people to strategically plan for a future energy system that is sustainable, reliable and affordable. But what we really need to do is assess the impact of energy system transitions from a community perspective, and I think ACES Lite marks a first step in that direction.”

When you’ve spent your entire working life in the military, transitioning to civilian employment will always be difficult. But when Katy Newby unexpectedly found herself medically discharged from the Royal Air Force Police after 12 years of service, the sudden need to reinvent herself presented one of the most challenging experiences of her professional life.

“It was a massive shock, but rather than focusing on what went wrong, I just threw myself into being a mum to my fifteen-month-old daughter,” explains the Leidos Project Security Officer. “They say every cloud has a silver lining, and this meant that I was able to be her biggest influence through the early years of her life.”

While being a mother provided a new sense of purpose in those early years, as Newby’s daughter grew older and began school, she began to realise how much she had been giving up in terms of her professional life.

What I struggled with most in that period was losing my identity. When I left the armed forces, Corporal Newby was half of who I was. Being a mum is this huge, important purpose, but I still felt like I’d thrown myself into it so much that I’d put the other half of my life on the back burner.

Katy Newby

Project Security Officer, Leidos UK

After a couple of years of taking on various part-time jobs, Newby joined the MOD Guard Service, which reminded her how much she’d enjoyed working in security. Yet she also increasingly felt the need for a career that would provide more opportunities to progress professionally. So, in 2019, she headed to university to pursue a degree in organisational capability development, followed by a master’s degree in critical infrastructure security.

“I hadn’t been in education since I left school at 16, and I never even dreamt I’d get a degree, let alone a master’s,” says Newby. “But it turned out that I absolutely loved researching. I always want to know the whys and wherefores of how things happen, so it suits me right down to the ground. I remember crying when I found out that I’d been awarded a first, and that was really my wake-up call that I’d found something that I’m good at.”

The combination of her academic qualifications, on top of a decade plus worth of military service, made Newby an ideal candidate to join Leidos as a project security officer in July 2023. But what stood out to Newby was how much Leidos presented the perfect fit for her in turn.

“My interview gave me such a positive sense about working the team that I turned down other interviews because this just felt like it was meant to be,” she describes. “Five months in, I still absolutely love it. The fact that I can work from home is great for my family but I also don’t feel isolated from work at all because there’s an amazing sense of community. People see you as a whole person and trust you to do what needs to be done the way you think is best rather than dictating exactly what you should do. “

From sending out her first 40 post-military job applications and getting only three responses to the challenges of balancing her studies against part-time employment and childcare responsibilities, the past nine years may not have been easy for Newby. But as she first learnt back in her days as a military cadet, anything worth having is worth working for.

“I still struggle with the fact that I had no control over when I left the military,” she says. “But when I think about how I’ve gone to university and how I’ve found my own path back into security, I’m able to look back on that unexpected challenge as a positive opportunity to mastermind my own destiny.”
