The Oakland Metro Chamber’s East Bay Women in Leadership series returns this fall with an inspiring edition featuring Patti Poppe, CEO of PG&E Corporation. This signature event brings together dynamic women leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers from across the region to share stories, build connections, and spark meaningful dialogue about leadership and impact.

Patti joined PG&E in January 2021 after five years as President and CEO of CMS Energy and its principal subsidiary, Consumers Energy. She previously served in other leadership roles at Consumers Energy and DTE Energy, beginning her career at General Motors.
