About Us

Glynn held multiple senior roles throughout a 21 year career with Shell International; most recently with Shell Corporate Strategy developing Shell’s New Energies Strategy, and subsequently leading Shell Australia’s New Energy Strategy development and project delivery.

Glynn’s personal driver is to enable the transition to renewable energy and green fuel systems at all scales, to help partners assess the options and strategies available to them in adopting renewable energy systems, green transport fuels (EV, H2), how to best structure integration to maximise value (cheaper clean energy to consumers), develop integrated transition roadmaps, open up new business opportunities, enabling skills and technologies development.

Glynn has strong interest in enabling commercially efficient delivery of renewable energy, such as VPP-DERMS connected distributed renewable energy systems across communities and cities, to unlock excess energy for new business opportunities (e.g. EV charging, hydrogen). Glynn provides clients and partners with clear options, backed by trusted data and assessment that enable them to take decisions and actions that best fit with their strategic objectives.

Glynn’s experience, professional network and linkage to large-scale projects provides an important platform for new technologies under development to access supporting finance, management and business opportunities to progress to commercial success.
