CEO, Founder
Sandra Kwak is CEO and Founder of social impact enterprise 10Power, working with Native American Tribal Nations to develop renewable energy projects with a community workforce development and gender empowerment lens. She sees renewable energy as one to the keys for forging a path for regenerative development, a concept explored in her TEDx talk “Fourth World Nation Building.”
She serves as a Board member at the Foundation for Climate Restoration and a Partner at ResilientMarkets, applying regenerative design principles to realize the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Prior, she worked with AutoGrid (acquired by Schneider Electric) deploying big data for the smart grid to create Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).

She taught Race, Activism and Climate Justice at San Francisco State University and has guest lectured at California College of the Arts and Stanford University.

Most importantly, she is a mother.
