About

I work with energy procurement and energy management teams to give them clear, auditable visibility of where energy is used, what it costs, and where action can be taken immediately across their sites. By putting a price against every MWh consumed, our platform enables teams to: • Identify avoidable energy spend at site and asset level • Take automated action to reduce cost and exposure to volatility • Improve operational resilience without relying on manual intervention • Support sustainability targets with measurable, defensible data I’m a former consultant turned founder in the sustainability and energy space, with experience building and scaling technology-led businesses. I’ve led strategy, teams, and budgets in fast-moving, unstructured environments and worked closely with procurement stakeholders to turn data into outcomes. If you’re responsible for energy cost, risk, or performance and want better control without more spreadsheets, I’m always happy to compare notes.
