Director

Joanne O’Donnell joined NMR in February 2013 and has two decades of experience in the energy-efficiency industry. She has led many program evaluations across low income, First Nation, residential, and C&I sectors. Her current work centers on process evaluation, net to gross, non-energy impacts, and market research, with a particular commitment to understanding how efficiency initiatives can better serve disadvantaged and historically underserved communities. Joanne has contributed to program evaluations in her former capacity with Opinion Dynamics and has also worked with the Consortium for Energy Efficiency to bring together program administrators, trade allies, and other market actors to develop effective program design strategies and templates.

Joanne holds an MA in Energy and Environmental Analysis and two bachelor’s degrees in Environmental Analysis & Policy and Political Science from Boston University. In her free time, Joanne enjoys trying new recipes, participating in a long-running book club, and exploring New York City.
