Steering Committee

The co-founders of SAGA Wisdom first worked together at Fekete Associates, where a culture of continuous learning was fostered. Experiencing first-hand the lack of accessibility to quality training taught by true experts, they launched a company with one goal, to make technical learning in energy more accessible, efficient and fun.

Since the beginning, SAGA’s steering committee has helped guide the development of our product and course offering to ensure that we meet our customers’ needs and upskill their staff for the challenges they will face in the future.
