Alexandra Lawson: The Shell renewables champion who's passionate about gender parity

Scottish Business Network

Alexandra Lawson’s potential was spotted back in 2018 when she was presented with a One to Watch Award by Women in Science & Engineering (WISE). A Saltire scholar and ambassador, she’s now realising that potential in her current role with Shell, championing renewable energy solutions. A keen advocate of tackling the climate change crisis, Alex is passionate about promoting gender parity in the STEM industries and advocating for the next generation through her role on the WISE Young Professionals Board. And when the working day is done, Alex swaps her business suit for dungarees and a toolbox. In her Instagram influencer guise as Casa Lawson, her DIY expertise has brought her 223,000 followers, with her house featuring on TV in Scotland’s Home of the Year 2021 Christmas special. Scottish Business Network co-founder Christine Esson steps into the interviewer's seat to hear from a highly talented, ambitious and charismatic young professional.
