Aina Murillo Paredes on the evolving renewable energy landscape and leadership

Leadership in the energy transition requires more than technical expertise it calls for vision, adaptability and the ability to lead by example.

We’re proud to see Aina Murillo Paredes, Global Head of Estimations at Zelestra, featured in Magas, for her career journey and perspective on the evolving renewable energy landscape.

From her early experience in large-scale infrastructure projects across the US, UK and Australia to her current role shaping complex renewable developments, Aina brings a unique combination of on-the-ground insight and strategic thinking. Her path reflects the kind of multidisciplinary leadership increasingly needed as renewables become a structural pillar of the global energy system.

As she puts it: “True leadership is exercised by example.”

In the article, Aina shares key reflections on:
• The shift of renewables from emerging technologies to core system infrastructure
• The growing importance of system-level challenges such as grid integration, storage and regulatory stability
• The need for stronger communication and education to drive broader societal understanding of clean energy
• The value of international experience, continuous learning and perseverance in building impactful careers

Her perspective also reinforces a broader reality: delivering the energy transition requires not only scaling capacity, but also strengthening how projects are designed, assessed and executed from the very beginning.
