Ambassador

Caroline McGregor currently serves as the Acting Director for Integrated Strategies within the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). She oversees multiple portfolios, including strategic analysis, metrics and evaluation, workforce, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence/machine learning, and energy access, for which she also serves as the Program Manager. McGregor has also worked in the EERE Solar Energy Technologies Office, providing strategic analysis and institutional support. Previous work at DOE includes nearly a decade in the Office of International Affairs, working at the intersection of multilateral engagement, energy access research and development, and international development, having joined the Department as a Presidential Management Fellow. Outside the federal government, McGregor was Lead Specialist for Energy Access at the UN-affiliated Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and held advisory roles at the World Bank (ESMAP), Evolution Ltd., and E3G. She started her career as a Junior Fellow for the Russia/Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and spent two years working as a journalist for The Moscow Times.

Among her proudest professional accomplishments is having been a driving force behind the creation of C3E as a multilateral initiative in 2010, and as a U.S.-based program in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012. She spearheaded the Department’s C3E international and domestic engagement through 2016. After many interceding years of cheering C3E on from afar, she’s delighted to take on an active role again.

McGregor holds a Master of Public Administration degree from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley College.
