Georgia Iordanescu

Georgia is a seasoned leader known for driving transformational change across global energy markets, with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of energy infrastructure, sustainable finance, and emerging markets development. Recognized for her thought leadership in the energy sector, she has shaped policy reforms, structured innovative financing mechanisms, and mobilized public and private capital to advance sustainable energy transitions in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Her expertise lies in integrative thinking—blending specialized technical energy solutions with financial strategies and climate policy to deliver cross-sectoral impact. Throughout her career, she has worked with governments, including Finance Ministries, multilateral development banks, Development Finance Institutions, private sector financial institutions, companies, and other senior stakeholders to deliver high-impact initiatives aligned with global energy security, climate, and decarbonization goals. With a proven ability to bridge the often-siloed energy, finance, and climate solutions in a way that is globally and locally relevant, Georgia designs mechanisms that align financial innovation with decarbonization goals, advocates for enabling policy environments, and fosters international collaboration across governments, multilateral institutions, and the private sector. Her approach is deeply rooted in data-driven solutions, as demonstrated by her leadership in advancing blended finance and de-risking mechanisms that have catalyzed US$ 1 billion in private sector investment in both clean and conventional energy systems.
