Steph Speris shares how her work in Yemen, India, and Pakistan led to an awakening about energy injustice in the United States. Steph knows what poverty can feel like and the impact that a poor credit score can have. So she started Solstice, a community-solar company with a mission to bring clean electricity to underserved communities.

Steph is the Co-Founder & CEO of Solstice, which is expanding access to clean energy through community solar. Steph previously led sales and marketing innovation initiatives in India at d.light, spearheaded Acumen's renewable energy impact investment strategy in Pakistan, developed Middle East policy as the youngest policy director at the White House National Security Council, and managed field operations in seven states for the 2008 Obama campaign. Steph has been named as an Echoing Green Climate Fellow, a Grist 50 Fixer, an Acumen Global Fellow, and Elle’s Impact Woman Entrepreneur of the Year.

“The role of power and privilege is to use it, to open up the doors for other folks to access that same power. It is a purpose that has driven me through my whole life.”
