SALINA, N.Y. — C&S Companies recently announced it has hired Olwen Huxley as a senior principal to facilitate the growth of C&S’s sustainability practice and “support the firm in meeting its own sustainability and energy-management goals.”
C&S describes Huxley as “an esteemed sustainability professional and leader.” She has more than 25 years of professional experience focused on energy management, environmental policy, climate-change planning, and sustainability policy, management and consulting.
“I am extremely excited to be joining the C&S team as part of the firm’s ongoing journey to strengthen its already substantial sustainability offerings and ethos,” Huxley said in a statement. “The opportunities continue to expand in such areas as energy efficiency, infrastructure and energy and resilience, community and environmental restoration, and high-performing facilities. I am looking forward to all the work that we can do together to support our clients in all these areas and more.”
Prior to joining C&S, Huxley served as an energy program manager for the FBI, where she focused on improving the performance of high-intensity facilities such as central utility plants, laboratories, and data centers. Over the course of her career, she also served as an energy and environmental consultant to multiple agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Huxley also has legislative and policy experience from five years on Capitol Hill, including working in the office of U.S. Representative Jack Quinn (NY-30) and the House Science Committee, which chaired by the late U.S. Representative Sherry Boehlert (NY-25).
