Gary Gero has had a long career in energy, environmental policy, and organizational leadership. From LADWP, where he oversaw renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, to leading the Climate Action Reserve where he played a key role in implementing California’s cap and trade program, to his current role as Chief Sustainability Officer for the County of LA, which includes nearly 90 cities. I enjoyed catching up with my old friend, and think you’ll enjoy getting to know Gary, his life and work and his advice to those seeking careers in sustainability.
