Claire has had a broad career in National Grid, starting in 2014 on the graduate scheme in Procurement.
This provided her with a fantastic foundation of commercial understanding, working with lots of different stakeholders and project management. Her real passion was to work at the heart of the energy industry, so when an opportunity came up in the system operator it seemed like an opportunity she couldn’t turn down. Since joining the ESO in 2020, she has lead on regulatory delivery of new frequency response products, delivered multiple commercial code changes, led employee engagement for the organisation and introduced an ESO office dog, supporting the training and office socialisation of a trainee Guide Dog. She has recently started a new role in the CFO function leading the Revenue and Settlements team which processes £9bn of charges from across the industry.
