Julie Chang

Julie Chang is a mission-driven entrepreneur and CEO whose career sits precisely at the catalytic intersection of infrastructure, sustainability, and innovation. Trained in engineering and management — including graduate studies at MIT’s Sloan School of Management — and further sharpened by her undergraduate experience at Tufts University, Julie has spent more than two decades taking technologies, ideas, and early-stage business models and scaling them into real operating businesses that improve lives, decarbonize systems, and modernize the built environment.

Her path has been marked by both technical depth and strategic leadership: she has led P&L growth, restructured business units for scale, and brought climate-positive technologies to market in the United States and internationally. As CEO, she is known for aligning diverse and cross- functional teams toward a shared transformative outcome — and then building the capital stack, regulatory strategy, and operating cadence that makes that transformation real.

Julie is widely recognized across her industry for thought leadership and results. She is the recipient of the Patrick McGovern Entrepreneurship Award; has been featured in Biz Journal’s “In Her Own Words” series, as well as the MIT Alumni Magazine — and her project leadership has been honored by both ACEC (the American Council of Engineering Companies) and AWWA (the American Water Works Association). She is a sought-after speaker and writer on the future of resilient cities, decarbonized infrastructure, and health-driven design.

Julie Chang is also a civic leader. She serves on the Board of Sustainable Westchester and the New York League of Conservation Voters, where she focuses on the activation of policy, markets, and community partnerships to accelerate climate transition and environmental equity in the greater New York region
