Leaders in Cleantech #podcast

Super excited to launch our new website, sharing insights into the cleantech sector, and how we support founders and business leaders to build winning leadership teams. Would love your thoughts.

In the cleantech space, where companies are navigating complex growth challenges and aiming for game-changing exits, it’s easy to focus on the obvious factors: technology, market fit, and financial metrics. But let’s talk about something less often in the spotlight yet equally critical—leadership. I’ve said for some time that ‘If you want a great exit, hire a great team’, We even made a social media graphic of it. But whilst I thought that fact was self-evident, I know VC’s and PE’s are an analytical breed, so I went about looking for data and statistics to back up my statement. #cleantech #investment #venturecapital #privateequity #leadership #exit

With nearly 150 episodes, interviewing cleantech founders, CEOs and Investors, along with working with over 100 cleantech startups and scaleups, I figured share their and my insights to a deeper level. Alongside the podcast I’ve launched a Substack to share many more stories and insights. I would love you to subscribe. See you there.

Earlier this year we had Bill Esterson on the podcast, since then he has not only been re-elected as an MP, and now in Government, but he has also been elected as chair of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee. We've already seen some great decisions by the new Government around onshore wind, solar and (not progressing) the idiot scheme for a new coal mine in Cumbria. The magic money tree still doesn't exist, but it will be interesting to see what developments Bill and his colleagues bring for the remainder of this year. #netzero #energysecurity #cleantech #policies

A what! Yes, I'm not a fan of the terminology, but definitely of the concept to take the time, to create the space, to be creative and innovative. I'm blessed that over the last 6 or 7 years, Covid aside, I have had regular international business trips. Whilst the trips the meetings and events were based around were very useful in and of themselves, I started to find the gaps in the journey, even the dead time at airports, were very useful, to be disconnected from the day to day, and to give time for reading, thinking and …. innovating. #leadership #innovation #creativity
