About Us

Green Connections Radio Show

Cleantech is the top growth industry – and has been portrayed as a man’s world.

Women make 80% of purchasing decisions, and the top brand ambassadors.

Yet women are still severely under-represented in these lucrative industries, holding only 12% of the energy jobs, and only 24% of science, technology, engineering and math jobs. And, women are only 25% of the experts in the media.

Green Connections Radio™ is growing the clean economy and making sure women have the opportunity to gain their fair share of this lucrative industry sector.

The green economy is growing at 8.3%, according to the Brookings Institution, and energy is booming. And it’s transforming the way we “live green, work green, earn green”™

Green Connections Radio™ is helping women seize the economic benefits of this huge growth sector, connecting companies and organizations to their top market, and inspiring the next generations of women to enter this fascinating and potentially lucrative industry.

Are women your top market?

We can help.
