Abby Hopper spent nearly a decade leading the solar industry’s most influential advocacy organization — and now, she’s stepping into a new chapter.
In this episode of the Scientista Podcast, Dr. Sweta Chakraborty sit down with Abby to reflect on her path from big-law attorney to clean-energy leader, and the turning points that reshaped her career along the way. She shares how becoming a mother of three young kids forced a major pivot, what she learned about navigating demanding industries as a woman, and why leaving at the top isn’t a retreat — it’s a choice to grow.
Abby also talks about the culture shift she’s helped drive in clean energy, the work still ahead, and how she’s approaching a future that’s wide open.
