Nicole Iseppi of ENGIE was honoured as the ‘Female Energy Adviser/Lawyer of the Year for the United Arab Emirates’Â by the 2017 ACQ5 Global Awards.
The ACQ5 Global Awards recognise each year the leading companies and individuals in the corporate sector, around the globe, who are regarded as industry leaders and who represent the benchmark of achievement and best practice in their area of expertise.
The ACQ5 Global Awards has over 1.4 million users and is supported and promoted by TIME Magazine, CNN, Bloomberg Business and BBC Worldwide media sources.
Iseppi is an associate director for ENGIE’s Global Centralised Generation Métier and has been working in the Middle East region since 2004.
Iseppi is highly respected by both her professional peers and clients for her in-depth energy, legal (risk management) and finance industry skills and knowledge and is regarded as a leading energy expert within the United Arab Emirates and Gulf Cooperation Council region. She has substantial experience in the strategic formulation, structuring, financing, execution and operational phases of energy infrastructure projects, especially within the independent power projects, independent water and power projects, and renewable energy sectors for the past 17 years.
Furthermore, Iseppi has been appointed by her industry peers as an official member of the International Bar Association’s Global Power Law Committee and is a project director of Terrawatt Initiative (TWI). TWI is a non-profit organisation, launched at COP21 in 2015 to address energy access and climate change issues through investment in solar power at a massive scale.
It is not often the industry comes across a professional who in their career to date has had such a depth of unique, high calibre and leading international energy infrastructure experience as Iseppi and she says she still has a lot more she would like to be part of, contribute to and achieve, within the industry.
In addition to awarding Iseppi this prestigious award for the United Arab Emirates, ENGIE has also been awarded two further achievements by the ACQ5 Global Awards for 2017: Isabelle Kocher, CEO, ENGIE, has been awarded ‘International Game Changer of the Year (Energy)’ and the ENGIE Group has been awarded ‘International Company of the Year (Power, Natural Gas & Energy)’.
