About

Currently leading strategic key accounts and scaling the new integrated C&I and Residential BESS solutions across Australia, NZ & PNG. A result-driven Renewable Energy professional with 15 years of deep industry experience, including a decade of specialized expertise in Solar Inverters and BESS. Oceania Energy Storage Leader with a track record of scaling emerging brands into market leaders across Residential, Commercial & Industrial (C&I), and Heavy Mining sectors. Recognized for strategic product management and high-growth business development. Throughout my career, I have carried a strict responsibility to my companies and clients, ensuring that only the most reliable, compliant, and high-performing hardware enters the grid. My track record includes serving as a local distributor Product Manager since 2012, where I successfully vetted, introduced, and scaled several tier-1 solar and energy storage brands from early market newcomers into highly recognized industry leaders in the Australian commercial and residential landscapes. Currently driving commercial expansion at SAJ Energy, I specialize in delivering advanced C&I and Residential BESS solutions that fully align with premium market specifications while maximizing distributor profitability. I possess an intimate understanding of Australian compliance standards, CEC approved product lists, and the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS), enabling commercial clients to seamlessly monetize incentives and optimize ROI. [Note to Industry Partners: Always open to exploring strategic collaborations, high-level networking, and joint ventures regarding C&I BESS infrastructure across Australia to Oceania region]
