Fernanda Varela

Directora Ejecutiva Agencia Polux

Journalist with over 17 years of experience in strategic communications, the last 12 of which have been focused on the energy and sustainability sector, crafting narratives that connect purpose, impact, and business. In 2022, she founded PĂłlux, the first communications agency in Chile specializing in clean energy, sustainability, and gender equity. That same year, she created and began hosting #GirlPower, a pioneering radio program that amplifies the stories and voices of women driving the energy transition and climate action across Latin America.

Before launching her own venture, she served as Communications Director at ACERA – the Chilean Association of Renewable Energies and Storage (2014–2022), where she was tasked with creating the association’s communications department and building it into a strong
enough area to support the promotion of the renewable energy sector within Chile’s energy market. During this period, she also led the creation and coordination — for two years — of the Ibero-American Renewable Energy Network (RedREN), a network of renewable
energy associations from across the region.
