Good evening to my friends in China! Good morning to people here in New Orleans.

I am very honored to be here, participating in the launch of the 2022 Masters of Management in Energy Program with UCASS.

This is a very top strategic priority for us. It's the study of energy, energy transition, innovation and sustainability, how it is today and more importantly, the future of our society and economy.

We are very committed to developing and extending our knowledge of renewable and sustainable energy systems to educate future-focused leaders.

Through our Masters of Management in Energy, we offer educational opportunities that improve understanding of the integration of energy markets, policies, technology and the environment. Our program includes energy accounting analytics, economics, finance, operation and supply chain management, risk management, strategy and trading.

We have the best and ideal partner with UCASS. We have a very long relationship based on mutual respect, always working on what is best for our two institutions and our students.

We already have a track of success with over 500 students. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to our future together.

The UCASS 2022 Masters of Management in Energy is a very exciting new chapter of our successful partnership. Welcome, Class of 2022! You have an exciting path ahead. Cheers!
