The Hawthorn Club is the international network for executive women in the energy industry.

Our mission is to promote the appointment of women to senior corporate positions and boards; to facilitate gender diversity within the energy sector.

The club was founded in London in 2011, holding over 100 events in fifteen countries with over 2,000 executive women attending.

The Hawthorn Club is a global network in which you and your peers are recognized as leaders and change agents.

Member Perspectives

“As the world transitions to clean energy, the Hawthorn Club provides an invaluable network for senior women working across the energy sector to share their experiences of advancing this transition.”

Shemara Wikramanayake, CEO Macquarie Group

Member Perspectives

“Passion, perseverance, and the philosophy that failure is not an option are the qualities I look for in a leader. When I look around the room at a Hawthorn Club event, I see them reflected in the members. The Club is a one-of-a-kind forum in which you can share business insights on the energy transition with other global thought-leaders.”

Vicki Hollub, President and Chief Executive Officer, Occidental Petroleum

New Report

The Energy Transition Evolves, 2019-2024. Five global trends – five years later.

This paper, co-authored by The Hawthorn Club and BloombergNEF, provides insights into the energy transition from the Club’s Global Summit held in US Spring 2024. It pairs BNEF’s global analysis with lived experience from women at the forefront of the transition. We explore five trends of the energy transition, first identified five years in 2019, and identify how these trends are tracking, what was missed and what has changed, as well as insights on these trends shared by Hawthorn Club thought leaders through a regional lens, with a focus on the US, Australia and Europe.
