For over 15 years, Rafael Amaral has been committed to advancing the renewable energy industry, contributing to the implementation of utility-scale power systems across several continents. With a foundation in electrical engineering, he understood from the start that field performance builds trust. His focus has consistently been on ensuring turbines operate efficiently, grids remain stable, and teams deliver safely and on time.

Rafael currently serves as Executive Vice President at a renewable energy company, with full P&L responsibility for approximately $220 million in revenue. His responsibilities span field services, repowering, project execution, and asset management across wind, solar, and battery storage in North America.

Rafael's career began in Brazil, where he graduated as valedictorian in Electrical Engineering. Early experience designing high-voltage substations and electrical systems helped him build a strong technical foundation and gain insight into how energy systems respond under pressure. This knowledge became vital as he moved into roles managing large-scale renewable operations.

In 2011, Rafael Amaral of Florida joined a global energy organization, beginning in wind commissioning and site leadership roles. He led efforts in turbine delivery, engineering coordination, and customer interaction. Later, he oversaw service teams across several Latin American countries, managing a $10 million business with around 120 employees. These roles taught him how to lead diverse teams across challenging environments and establish operational clarity.

Rafael's move into global leadership included managing workforce strategy for about 1,600 field employees in 25 countries. He later took on responsibility for international operations valued at nearly $190 million, focusing on process improvement, safety, and margin stability through the practical application of lean principles.

Rafael then led operations in North America and the Americas, overseeing more than 1,200 employees and up to $160 million in revenue. In 2024, he led the integration of over 10 acquired companies into a unified platform. That same year, he was appointed Chief Operating Officer, overseeing construction and operations in the U.S. and Canada.

Throughout his professional journey, Rafael Amaral has remained focused on execution, operational discipline, and long-term value creation in renewable energy.

I’ve always believed that real change starts from the ground up. The problems we see around us—children deprived of education, youth struggling for opportunities, voices going unheard—won’t fix themselves. If we don’t step up, who will?

I still remember the evening that changed something in me. I was in 6th grade, out for dinner with my family, when I saw a boy—probably even younger than me—cleaning tables, picking up leftover food from the ground, and later, washing dishes in the open in chilling winter, all by himself. I just...didn't really knew at that time that this is also something that happens in this world. We were both just kids, but our worlds couldn’t have been more different. I was sitting comfortably with my family, talking about school and dreams, while he was working late into the night, carrying a weight no child should have to bear.

That night, I couldn’t shake the thought—why is life so unfair for some? And more importantly, why do we just accept it as normal? I had always been drawn to debates and discussions about India’s future, but that was the moment I knew—I want to do something real. Not just talk, but act. So that kids like him get the education they deserve, the life they deserve. Because this? This is not the India our freedom fighters fought for.

Today, I’m on a journey to understand problems at their root and work towards real solutions. Whether it’s through policy making, leadership, or on-the-ground activism, I want to play my part in shaping an India where no child is left behind, and every young person has a chance to thrive.

I’m always open to discussions, opportunities, and collaborations that align with this vision. If you share the same fire for policy, governance, youth activism, or leadership, let’s connect and build something meaningful together.

She loves to craft and sew and enjoys gardening and growing fruit and vegetables - no matter how successful the harvest may be .
