Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Today, host Karan Takhar has the pleasure of sitting down with Erika Reinhardt, Executive Director, Co-Founder and Board Director for Spark Climate Solutions. This is a jam-packed episode. They discuss the origin of Spark Climate Solutions, the launching of the company, and how Erika met her business partner. We learnabout the sabbatical Erika took to focus on climate more deeply and how that led into her work at Spark. We also discover how Spark sources opportunities, where the funding comes from, and how to get in touch if you’d like to receive a Spark grant. Additionally, Erika touches on the leadership and management principles she’s taken across her work in elections, tech, and climate and the advice she’d give to those just starting out in their careers. We conclude with Erika’s vision for Spark over the next 5 years.
