Transforming the Energy Mix for a Sustainable Tomorrow with Noureen Faizee | Conversations in Cleantech | Season four, Episode six

In the latest episode of the Conversations in Cleantech podcast, your host, Jenny Gladman, is joined by Noureen Faizee, Global Director of Strategy and Growth for the Hydrogen Division at Worley. 

Noureen has had a varied career path as a direct result of her seizing every, single opportunity she is presented with. Originally raised in India, she moved to the US to pursue her Masters in Chemical Engineering and settled permanently. Noureen's career began in engineering before her drive and determination led her to pivot to a strategy-based role helping Worley to explore opportunities for genuine transformation within the hydrogen marketplace.

By 2026, Worley aims to generate 76% of its revenue from sustainability-related projects. Whilst many are quick to dismiss oil and gas organisations' role in the energy transition, they have the power to significantly move the needle towards a lower carbon future. With a driving force like Noureen behind them, there is no doubt they will reach their objectives. 

During this conversation in cleantech, Noureen takes us through her career journey in her own words, from her early experiences to her pivotal moments and everything in between. Noureen also touches on the hydrogen industry today and how we will see the industry develop over the coming years. 

If you are looking to climb into cleantech, specifically the energy transition sector, this episode is one not to miss!
