Angela Yuan is the Senior Manager of Environmental Policy at the Data Center Coalition (DCC). In this role, Angela leads DCC's environmental policy and sustainability efforts, with a primary focus on water resource management.
Angela's environmental experience spans the grassroots, state, federal, and international levels. Before joining DCC, she worked as a Project Manager at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, collaborating with bipartisan U.S. legislators on water, sustainable agriculture, and environmental justice solutions. Earlier in her career, she worked on the Flint Water Crisis and PFAS litigation, co-developed a U.S. EPA award-winning watershed plan, worked at the U.S. Forest Service, and founded a clean water project on Mfangano Island, Kenya, supporting thousands of people daily.
As a Schwarzman Scholar in China, Angela became focused on leveraging private-sector innovation, speed, and capital to advance public environmental goals. She has since worked with the United Nations on a sustainable business project, with Walmart on a carbon-reduction consultancy, and co-authored both a Japanese government-sponsored international data center sustainability roadmap and a Google-sponsored Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy data center policy report.
