Jack Conness is a Policy Analyst at Energy Innovation focused on the Electrification Program. He conducts and supports policy research and analysis, interprets results, develops recommendations, and presents findings to decision-makers, with the goal of advancing strong electrification policies in the U.S. and internationally as a core pathway to decarbonize the economy.
Jack’s professional career started in the Major League Baseball industry, where he worked for four years as a research analyst at the Boras Corporation. With the impacts of climate change too important to ignore, Jack decided to leave the baseball world for the climate industry. His climate-related roles include research and analysis at Sustainable Capital Advisors (climate finance), the U.S. Climate Alliance (state climate policy), and the University of Washington (fleet electrification). Jack also created the IRA + CHIPS Dashboard, which tracks clean energy manufacturing announcements since the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act in August 2022.
Jack resides in Seattle, where he is finishing his Master of Public Administration degree at the University of Washington.
