    Jennie Montano: We're Going to See Some Really Cool Sh*t

    In this episode, we talk with Jennie Montano, an operations and supply chain leader who has spent her career simplifying complex systems, reducing waste, and helping companies work smarter. Jennie shares how her experience in biotech and global supply chain translates directly to climate solutions, from cutting inefficiencies to accelerating commercialization for hard tech startups. We also explore her passion for home electrification and heat pumps, including insights from her ClimateDrift article on making your home a climate champion. Jennie explains why installation rather than technology is the real barrier and how homeowners can make their homes more efficient. She also offers grounded advice for anyone looking to pivot into climate work and explains why narrowing your niche is the key to effective networking. Plus, she wanted us to know that her sitcom casting choice would be Jenna Fischer as Pam from The Office. This is our final episode of 2025. We will be back in 2026 with season 2. Let's get to work!
