Chief Executive Officer

• Apr 2019 - Present

Riding Sunbeams is a world leading project to harness local, low carbon solar power energy and connect it directly into electrified rail routes to power the trains. I joined the board as Non-executive Chair in March 2019, taking on the full-time of CEO during a critical period in the technical, commercial and funding evolution of this fantastic enterprise.We have an astonishingly capable and creative team, excited to get stuck into the challenge of building a world-leading community energy venture.Direct supply of solar power to rail traction systems has never been done. But it has huge potential - from metros, trams and railways in the UK and around the world. After extensive feasibility work and research, we’re almost ready to connect the first pilot solar panels to the railway. Then we’ll go bigger, offering shares in solar farms to communities and commuters, so that local people will own and benefit from the clean energy powering their trains.
