Bio
Nadia Rahman is the chief operating officer of Northline Grid, where she runs the teams responsible for transmission planning, permitting, and community-facing project delivery across seven states. Before Northline, she led regional infrastructure strategy at DOE and spent a decade in utility finance.
Reporters call her when the story needs someone who can explain project economics, siting fights, and why a grid upgrade takes longer than the headline suggests. Conference organizers use this page when they need a concise biography, approved headshots, and a sharper sense of the rooms Nadia is actually useful in.
She lives in Houston, likes exact language, and will happily fix a misleading panel title if asked early enough.

Rahman is the rare operator who can talk financing, permitting, and public trust without flattening any of them.
