IR/PS Alumnus Jacques Chirazi '04 will talk with students about his work on the Cleantech Initiative of the Mayor’s office of the City of San Diego.
In April of 2007, Mayor Jerry Sanders announced the formation of a new Cleantech (Clean Technology) Initiative in an effort to promote the expansion, attraction, and retention of businesses that develop products and technologies that provide environmentally sustainable solutions. The Cleantech Initiative complements existing programs within the City while encouraging San Diego to become increasingly energy independent. The initiative seeks to develop an emerging cluster that will enhance the quality of life and reputation of San Diego. The San Diego region, already one of the world's premier centers for high-tech and biotech innovation, is poised to become a leader in clean technology research and development.
Jacques has worked on the Cleantech Initiative since it’s inception in 2007. Prior to this he worked as a Senior Business Analyst and Business Development Manager at Bainbridge Inc. Jacques holds an MPIA in International Environmental Policy from IR/PS, and a BS in Marketing from San Diego State University.
