Victoria Alexandratou – President & CEO at WRE / A Green Energy Pioneer
In a field that for decades spoke almost exclusively in male voices, one woman dared to enter, stay, and ultimately lead. Victoria did not follow the energy transition — she initiated it.
Since 1997, when renewable energy was still considered “exotic,” she saw the future and decided to build it. A licensed engineer and architect with studies in management and professional experience in Germany, she returned to Greece to found WRE Hellas S.A.
“In STEM, women don’t follow paths. They create them”
What began as one woman’s vision evolved into a stable pillar of green development. Clean energy, sustainable prospects, and new opportunities for young scientists define her legacy. Her journey was not merely professional. It was a battle against stereotypes, skepticism, and a market unaccustomed to seeing women at the forefront of energy. She did not ask for space. She created it.
In her company, she empowers young women to lead in decision-making roles, turning the much-discussed idea of equality in corporate governance into reality—something we often hear about in the industry but rarely see.
“In STEM, women don’t follow paths. They create them,” she says — and her story proves it. The energy transition is not just technology. It is courage, vision, and the power of a woman who chose to change the landscape — and did.
