Lincoln Bleveans leads, educates, and inspires people and organizations to seize actionable innovation opportunities to do good and do well in our dynamic, complex, and unprecedented world.
Lincoln has spent his three-decade career as a hands-on executive at the forefront of the global power industry as it has transformed from highly regulated, local and stodgy into one of the most global, complex and competitive arenas in the world. A liberal arts graduate in a sea of engineers, financiers, accountants, builders, and operators, he has leveraged his strengths as a voracious learner and outcome-driven strategic leader into a distinctive career spanning every continent except Antarctica in greenfield power project development; acquisitions, workouts, and divestitures; and utility planning, operations, and executive management.
Today he leads Stanford University's mission-essential operations and world-leading innovation in operationalized AI, smart campus systems, climate action, sustainability, resilience, and climate justice; water and waste utilities; civil infrastructure; building automation and systems management; and emergency preparedness and response. He serves on the Projects & Infrastructure Committee of the Board of Oversight for the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, on fiduciary and advisory boards for climate and energy technology companies across four continents, and as co-chair of the board of education non-profit Environmental Volunteers in California.
Lincoln communicates globally as a keynote speaker, guest lecturer at Stanford, MIT, and other universities, and podcast host. His podcasts Climate+ | Purpose & Prosperity in an Unprecedented World and Edison Squints explore our climate-changing world and the transformation of our electricity system.
