Elevating Energy Conversations on a Global Stage

Her reporting extended beyond traditional energy narratives, engaging with executives from
Ørsted, GE Vernova, and Constellation, as well as U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright
and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum — helping global audiences understand the
complexities of the energy transition.
Alix also wrote, produced, and hosted the Bloomberg one-hour special “Shale: The Next
