Maia Schweizer was born in the States, has a Masters in geobiology from CalTech, completed her PhD on Martian geoscience at Oxford, became a McKinsey consultant in London, and now works in Australian renewable energy. Until recently, she was the CEO of CleanCo (Queensland's government-owned green energy corporation) and will soon take up a senior position at Fortescue Future Industries. Rachel speaks to Maia about her unusual journey into the energy sector, COP 26 and climate targets, and how to restructure Queensland's energy industry. Maia's vision for Australia's green economy is refreshingly pragmatic, specific, and optimistic.
