Hannah Steinweg

Public Policy Manager
Rivian

At Rivian, Hannah Steinweg leads public policy strategy and development across the West, working to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles—an shift that is transforming transportation with lower costs, smarter technology, and cleaner air. Her work involves navigating complex regulatory landscapes, collaborating with elected officials, utilities, coalitions, and agencies to adopt policies that support widespread EV adoption.

A Texas native, Hannah has dedicated her career to advancing clean energy solutions. Before joining Rivian, she served as Director of Environment Colorado and Chief of Staff in the Colorado Legislature, where she played a key role in shaping state environmental policy. With deep experience in state-level policy, she understands the importance of the intersection of government action and private-sector innovation in building a more sustainable future.

Beyond clean transportation, Hannah is passionate about sustainable fashion. She is the founder of a vintage clothing company, driven by a commitment to reducing consumption and a love for the craftsmanship and detail found in vintage fashion. She is particularly interested in how policy can drive more sustainable practices in the fashion industry, much like it has in transportation.
