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.

Jacqueline “Jaki” Stockwell is the CEO & Founder of Leadership Through Data, a global company who provide information management training and consultancy to both public and private sectors.

Alongside running the business, Jaki is also a professional speaker and is invited to attend international conferences and events. Jaki’s sessions are all about teaching information managers how to deliver fun, engaging and informative presentations to their colleagues in their respective businesses. As information managers know, it’s important that everyone in a business understands what information management is, however getting them to listen and comply is undeniably difficult. Jaki’s teaching methods empower information managers to think differently and use psychology along with a combination of styles to get their message across; after all, one size doesn’t fit all.

As well as being an international speaker, Jaki’s creative and inspirational leadership style and proactive approach to information management has led her to mentor others. She is quoted by clients and industry peers who say that “her positive attitude is infectious” and “she is totally human in her approach”.

Jacqueline’s aim in her career is to simplify information management what is unfortunately viewed as a complex and uninteresting topic, into relevant practical and enjoyable solutions which can be understood and implemented by all. The safety and security of information is both key to successful businesses but also a threat to their success if not managed effectively.

Whether in business or in her personal life, Jaki is always mindful of her sustainability efforts. At home she loves to upcycle and breathe new life into preloved furniture and décor. She loves to craft and sew and enjoys gardening and growing fruit and vegetables - no matter how successful the harvest may be .
