Betony Jones serves as Labor Advisor to the Secretary of Energy and Director of the Office of Energy Jobs. In this role, she shapes U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) policy to prioritize job creation and economic equity within the clean energy sector. Jones’ career began in the Clinton White House, where she tackled climate science policy. Following this, she spent 20 years developing and implementing strategies to maximize employment and economic benefits from climate action. As Associate Director of the Green Economy program at the University of California Labor Center and Founder and CEO of Inclusive Economics, she built a national reputation as a leader in labor-climate issues. Her research and insights have been shared through dozens of publications and reports.
