Energy is one of the most critical sectors in the world, powering industries and everyday life. Yet, for years, it has remained a male-dominated field. Today, we are witnessing a powerful shift as more women step into leadership roles, shaping the future of energy with fresh perspectives and expertise.

 

We are proud to feature Tang Yee Wah, a trailblazer at ENGIE, whose journey is one of empowerment and resilience. In an industry where women have often had to overcome systemic barriers, she has consistently risen above challenges with a clear focus on her goals and a deep belief in her potential.

 

As Managing Director at ENGIE Lab Singapore, Yee Wah leads sustainability efforts by leveraging research and technology to drive greener energy solutions. She champions projects that turn data and innovation into practical strategies for decarbonisation, ensuring energy systems are efficient, future-ready, and environmentally sustainable.

With support from allies and a strong Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) culture at ENGIE, she demonstrates what’s possible when talent is nurtured and diverse voices are given space to thrive.
