Journey to starting GreenBytes an Eco-Startup in Iceland: Jillian Verbeurgt

Introducing Jillian Verbeurgt ! A Canadian American currently residing in Reykjavik, Iceland, and has been the co-founder of a GreenTech startup called GreenBytes! GreenBytes started off as a service to a platform that tackles the ever-growing challenges of the world's food waste. We will follow her journey from studying to be a GeoPhysicist in British Columbia to become a leader in Iceland's eco-friendly tech sector. With an unquenchable curiosity, she dived into the world of archaeology partly due to the ole Indiana Jones and his series of onscreen adventures. She realized during her studies she actually loved physics and did a quick pivot! She earned a Geophysics degree from the University of Calgary where she also partook in some universities traditions that include but not limited to Couch Surfing ( literally) down snow-covered hills. After some economic downturn in her neighborhood, she looked at her options to pursue a Master's degree at the Iceland School of Energy with a focus on Sustainable Energy. This led to her new life in Iceland, meeting a previous guest and good friend Renata Bade, and co-founding a startup to answer some really difficult questions. How by taking on new challenges, not sweating the small stuff, and thinking about the big picture, Jillian took many turns that didn't follow the traditional career path. She discovered a new way to work and how that work would leave an impact.

Journey to becoming a Project Manager at Pure Power : Andrew Kim

Introducing Andrew Kim! Korean American alumni of Georgia Tech and current Project Manager at Pure Power Engineering, a nationwide solar engineering firm specializing in commercial solar systems.
