Natalie is a Principal Recruitment Consultant at Viridan Group, where she has spent over three years connecting top talent with clients across the renewable energy lifecycle and with companies across the broader climate technology sector. She loves helping candidates access opportunities that advance both their careers and their lives, and enjoys scaling teams by identifying the right fit for both clients and candidates - it's like solving a puzzle. Her work is driven by a passion for creating a more sustainable world and advancing environmental justice, a commitment that began during her time at the University of Michigan, where she studied sustainable business and resource management and conducted academic research on carbon capture for journals and federal grants, exploring societal discourse and social licensing issues.
