Why book Jennifer Granholm?

AI growth should strengthen the grid, not send everyone else’s electric bill up. Secretary Jennifer Granholm

The forces reshaping business are increasingly interconnected. AI is driving unprecedented demand for electricity. Geopolitical conflicts are disrupting energy markets. Tariffs and trade tensions are challenging supply chains and manufacturing. Few leaders have operated at the intersection of these issues as Jennifer Granholm has.

As U.S. Secretary of Energy and two-term Governor of Michigan, Granholm has led through economic crisis, manufacturing disruption, geopolitical uncertainty and technological change. Today, she translates that experience into accessible insights on what the issues dominating the headlines mean for organizations, industries and the economy.

Candid, energetic and deeply informed, Granholm helps audiences connect the dots between policy, technology, energy and global events—and understand what may be coming next.
