Mentorship, Value and Success
Electrify has always stayed away from hubris and over inflation. When asked if we were going to lead a revolution in the energy industry, we reiterated our focus areas and avoided irresponsible claims. In building our business and our company, we are careful to steer clear of conceit or arrogance either. The power and value of an experienced mentor can trump hard work and grit and we can always use the guidance and advice from greater minds than ours.
As far as advisors go, we religiously sought out the ones who had “been there, done that”; subject matter experts with the ability to bulldoze paths that need to be laid, in order for Electrify to realise the vision we had set out to achieve. We are honoured to be able to count them as part of our team.
