WASHINGTON—March 9, 2022—Guidehouse, a leading global provider of consulting services to public sector and commercial clients, is proud to announce energy industry luminary Lisa Frantzis has expanded her role with the firm’s Energy, Sustainability, and Infrastructure (ES&I) segment, spearheading go-to-market efforts for renewables, hydrogen and eMobility solutions.

An internationally recognized trailblazer in energy efficiency, decarbonization, clean and renewable energy, Frantzis is focused on helping companies understand decarbonization pathways, emerging technologies, regulatory changes, and market initiatives to accelerate the transition to a 21st-century clean energy system.

“Lisa is a true visionary and distinguished executive in the energy industry. Bringing her vast experience in clean energy policy, technology development, and implementation, she further enhances Guidehouse’s capabilities and experience helping our clients navigate the energy transition,” said Jan Vrins, leader of Guidehouse's global ES&I segment. “We are delighted she is expanding her role, making a real difference in transforming policy to help create a secure, clean, resilient, and affordable energy system.”

Over her 40 years of consulting experience, Frantzis has determined renewable and clean energy integration options for utility companies; identified energy program options for international government agencies; developed business strategies for energy manufacturers; and conducted due diligence for financial firms considering clean energy investments.

“Innovation is transforming the sector quickly and Guidehouse is at the forefront of helping clients navigate the opportunities and challenges that come along with these changes,” said Frantzis. “It couldn’t be a more exciting, inspiring time to be working in this industry, and I am thrilled to be a part of this exceptional team.”

Recently named a member of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC), she also recently served as a Senior Managing Director at Advanced Energy Economy (AEE), a national organization of businesses using policy advocacy, analysis and education to bring about a prosperous economy based on secure, clean and affordable energy.

“For me it’s all about cross sector collaboration,” added Frantzis. “As the market continues to transition towards a partnership between government, utilities and the commercial sector, Guidehouse is uniquely positioned, driving outcomes that enable clients to reach their ambitions through transformation.”
