Introducing Our New Staff Members

Yacine EL IDRISSI

Junior Energy Analyst
Data & Research Department – Research Team

I’m a 26-year-old Energy Analyst from Montpellier, France. Alongside other projects, I’m mostly contributing to Enerdata’s Power Plant Tracker service.

Prior to this, I was working in Mauritius as a data analyst in the transport and logistics sector, and developed skills in data processing, Business Intelligence, project management.

I hold a master’s degree in engineering with a focus on energy from Ecole Centrale de Lyon, and I also focus on “efficiency and energy transmission” in my hobby – as a competitive rower for the local rowing club here in Grenoble – “Aviron Grenoblois.”

Débora MOREIRA DE OLIVEIRA

Junior Analyst
Data & Research Department – Research Team

I’m from the sunny Island of Florianopolis, Brazil. I used to work in financial consultancy in Brazil, but my true passion has always been energy.

I joined Enerdata as part of the Research team after my studies in Energy Economics during my master’s.

I’m a very active person and one of my favorite things is practicing sports such as boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Léo FOURNERON

Data Analyst
Data & Research Department – Research Team

I grew up near Grenoble and completed my bachelor’s degree in Economics and Management with a focus on Economic and Social Policy at Grenoble Alps University, and my master’s degree in Energy Networks at the University of Montpellier.

After that I did an internship at Enerdata before starting full-time in the Market Research department, where I work on maintaining and regularly updating the Power Plant Tracker database.

Outside of work, I like to play sports when I have the time, including badminton, swimming and football, and I’m dreaming of traveling in Japan.

Fabien GAILLARD-BLANCARD

Junior Data Analyst
Data & Research Department – Data Team

I am an engineer specialised in Energy Systems and Associated Markets. My job here includes updating major databases, process improvements and thematic analyses.

I graduated in 2017 with a double master’s degree in Engineering from Grenoble Institute of Technology, and in Energy Economics and Sustainable Development from Grenoble Alps University.

Joining Enerdata has been an opportunity for me to integrate into a small but friendly and skilled group of co-workers in a well-recognized company, while continuing to trek, climb and ski around this city. I also appreciate travelling and have had a few international experiences, including in Canada, Peru and Nepal.

Frédéric PINTO DA ROCHA

Junior Analyst
Energy Efficiency & Demand

Hi! I’m Frédéric, I’m 23 years old and I’m from Dreux, a small town just west of Paris. I started at Enerdata in April 2018 as an intern and am now a junior analyst in the Energy Efficiency & Demand team.

Before starting at Enerdata, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Economics in 2016 from the University of Tours, and a master’s degree in Environmental and Energy Economics in 2018 at IFP School in Rueil-Malmaison, France.

I’m French-Portuguese and in addition to those two languages I speak English and Spanish. I love to speak to foreigners and discover new cultures and ways of living. I like living in Grenoble because the area around the city is really awesome and there are so many things to do: hiking, mountain biking, skiing in the winter, and swimming in lakes in the summer.

Ketti WILHELM

Marketing and Communications Specialist
Marketing & Sales Department

I grew up in the Rocky Mountains, in the US state of Montana, and have lived and worked around the world for several years – including recently in China, Italy and Nicaragua.

Here in Grenoble, I enjoy being Enerdata’s in-house writer and editor, AKA, Marketing and Communications Specialist. Before joining Enerdata, I completed a master’s degree in Energy and Sustainable Business at Bocconi University, in Milan, Italy. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and International Development.

I’m an avid traveller and language learner and am passionate about sustainability. I speak English, Italian, French and Spanish, and dabble in Chinese and Portuguese. I also love the Brazilian martial art of capoeira, and getting outdoors to ski here in Grenoble.

Nirmala MADHUSUDAN

Accountant
Finance Department

I joined Enerdata in August 2018 to handle accounting and finance. Previously, I worked in an accounting and auditing firm in Grenoble.

I’m originally from Chennai, India. My initial education in accountancy was in India, and the course of life took me to work in a few other countries before France – including Sri Lanka, India and Japan.

I came to Grenoble in 1991 to join my husband, who was already here on work. We decided to stay and bring up our two children in this calm town, and have since become French citizens.

Jean-Baptiste SORBIER

IT Manager
Information Systems Department

I’m in charge of IT at Enerdata, ranging from computer and network operations, to cloud operations.

I graduated with a master’s degree in Systems and Network Engineering from the ITIN Engineering school in Paris.

My prior experience includes 9 years working in IT for ski resorts, and 5 years on the island of Réunion, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Outside of work, I love being in the mountains, where I sometimes work as a paragliding instructor.
