Where Are They Now: Juliet Davenport OBE On Transitioning from CEO To A Portfolio Career

In this ‘Where Are They Now’ feature episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Juliet Davenport OBE, Founder and former CEO of Good Energy

Last time Juliet came onto 40 Minute Mentor, we learned about how she founded and scaled Good Energy to one of the UK’s leading renewable energy suppliers. Since then, Juliet has made the huge decision to step down as CEO and transition to a portfolio career. 

In today’s episode, Juliet tells us more about: 

➡️ How she made the decision to step down as CEO and her advice for anyone transitioning into a non executive role. 

➡️ Her takeaway from surviving the recent challenges the energy market faced. 

➡️ And her candid insights on what we can do in our day to day lives to move to net-zero emissions.
