Emma is an accomplished and driven leader with over 20 years of experience in the utilities sector. Throughout her career, she has held diverse roles across the development, construction, and operation of energy infrastructure, with a strong foundation in front-line positions. These experiences have been pivotal in shaping her passion for creating pathways for women at all levels within the industry.

A firm believer that people are an organisation’s greatest asset, Emma places empowerment and mentorship at the heart of her work. She actively supports women in utilities, helping them build confidence, develop leadership capability, and progress into impactful roles.

Emma currently serves as Chief Executive Officer at Eclipse Power, alongside her role as a Board Director for WUN, where she brings strategic insight, industry experience, and a deep commitment to inclusion. In this role, she helps shape a clear organisational strategy for WUN, define measures of success, and champion the voices and challenges of the front-line utilities workforce.

When she’s not playing a key role in driving the energy transition, Emma enjoys time with her husband and young son, as well as teaching swimming to children, an essential life skill she is passionate about sharing.

“What an honour to serve on the WUN Board. I’m excited to bring my experience, strategic vision, and passion for empowering women into this role, helping to build a strong, diverse community capable of driving meaningful change across the industry. People are always our biggest asset, and my front-line experience is vital in creating a pipeline for women at every level.”

The people. We wouldn’t be able to achieve such amazing projects without the people and their expertise. I feel proud to tell my son that I’m helping create a world that runs on green energy, and he gets to tell people that his Mummy keeps the turbines spinning and the lights on.
