We’re thrilled to welcome a new member to our team: Gabrielle Pierre, Senior Research Fellow and Strategic Team Leader.
Serving in a position split between the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems and the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility, Pierre will be leading a resilience assessment for the state of Georgia while she simultaneously pushes the needle forward on electric vehicle use, leveraging her over ten years of experience to connect key players across the University of Georgia and state.
Prior to this position, Pierre worked internationally in management consulting, energy and sustainability strategy and large-scale infrastructure planning in regions including the United States, Jamaica, Haiti, Turkey, China, Panama, and Costa Rica. Her driving goals are to make spaces and places more efficient, climate resilient, and equitable, and she pulls on her deep knowledge of the global and local dynamics that shape development to do so.
In her free time, Pierre loves to dance: she is a US nationally and regionally ranked and 2022 world title holding ProAm ballroom dancer.
