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.”
