At WePower, we’re passionate about creating a positive impact on the global energy sector through innovative digital solutions to support the energy transition and sustainable approaches to powering our world.

Over the last year we’ve achieved a lot, and we owe our success to our team. The WePower team is striving to build products that our customers want and need, while working to achieve gender balance in the energy technology space and creating a workplace that fosters growth and collaboration.

We’re in the business of doing good and we’ve got a great team moving us forward toward our goals. Meet the WePower team:

Huda, Chief Customer Officer, is passionate about driving positive economic impacts.

“Energy democratization has me excited to be part of WePower! I love that our products are impacting markets around the world.

With Australian roots, European heritage and a love of travel, I’m truly excited to support the energy transition globally — servicing the largest emitters with a potential savings of over 10b tonnes of emissions per annum while providing positive economic impact across the value chain.”

Shweta, Head of Delivery, is driven by technology and sustainability.

“I’m from Varanasi, growing up I had a knack for technology so I graduated in IT and worked in digital transformation & technology implementation in multi-national companies, before moving to Australia.

WePower is a perfect amalgam of the two things I connect to most — technology and environmental sustainability. I feel privileged to be a part of a small but high-impact team that allows for individual growth. Our team is driving the energy transition so that future generations can live, breathe, and experience a beautiful world.”

Aukse, Community & Social Media Manager, believes in a sustainable future and doing the business of doing good.

“Lithuanians were the last pagans of Europe and I believe the connection with nature is in our veins. I see climate change as a natural outcome of our global overconsumption. It is a wake up call.

I have been with WePower for an exciting 5 years now. I truly believe that doing a good business out of doing good is the best shot we have in the climate change fight. I’m proud to be part of the company which enables market participants to make a leap towards more conscious, sustainable economic activity. Being a mom motivates me to push the sustainability agenda to the max — our kids deserve a functional Planet.”

Stas, Product Manager, is motivated by the challenge of bringing big ideas to life.

“I was born and have spent most of my life in Estonia — with low population density, clean air and amazingly beautiful nature. A value I share with WePower is sustaining the environment and the diversity of our planet’s nature.

I have always been drawn to big ideas and innovating the energy sector feels just big enough. It is a challenge and I want to contribute to the change needed. I have an obligation to build and maintain a sustainable way of living that allows our kids and their kids to enjoy the same things we have now.”

Kristjan, Chief Architect, loves building innovative solutions the energy sector needs.

“The coolest thing about working at WePower is the novelty of our product. We’ve built something that no one else has, but that everyone in the Energy sector needs. And, we’ve done it with a great group of people — the WePower team.

Technology is everywhere, but digitisation in energy is lagging behind, and that’s slowing down the adoption of green energy. I’ve been studying and working on WePower technologies for the past four years and I’m excited to see our solutions helping out across the world.”

Manmeet, Product Analyst, is fascinated by technology connecting people to renewable energy.

“My career started as a mainframe developer back in India.

I joined WePower because I’m fascinated by our approach to connecting people to renewable energy through new technologies. I feel connected to our purpose because my sister is asthmatic. I have seen how she struggles to be outside when the air quality is poor. Knowing that my work reduces emissions makes me proud. It means cleaner air, and that’s good for everyone, including my sister.”

Kaspar, Co-founder & CTO, believes in advancing the digital energy infrastructure.

“Changing our global approach to energy production is complex and nuanced, but advancements are crucial because a sustainable, resilient energy infrastructure is a precursor for the continuation of any mature civilisation. Our current approach to energy is depleting our nonrenewable resources and we’ve only just scratched the surface of the solution — the digital energy infrastructure. I love being a part of it at WePower.”

Li-Chi, Business Analyst, sees value in reducing the complexity of green energy adoption.

“I grew up in Taiwan, which is a small island county. My childhood inspired my passion for hiking, swimming and cooking and I want future generations in my country to enjoy the same beautiful natural views and experiences, but they will be affected by climate change before most other countries.

I joined the WePower team because I believe in our vision to accelerate the coverage of green energy by reducing the complexity and slowing climate change. I feel privileged to be a part of a team with a good cause, and I am excited to grow with WePower to achieve our goals!”

Celeste, Head of Marketing, is passionate about challenging assumptions and making innovative ideas impactful.

“I’m originally from Michigan, USA, and I’ve lived and worked on nearly every continent.

I joined WePower after completing studies in entrepreneurship. I love working with entrepreneurs because they think differently — they challenge assumptions and make innovative ideas impactful. Contributing real solutions to advancing our energy infrastructure and being part of a supportive, gender-balanced team gives my work purpose. Team diversity breeds the creativity and innovation we need to solve the world’s toughest problems.”

Nick, Co-founder & CEO, is eager to improve quality of life by driving WePower & the energy transition.

“My passion for renewable energy grew as I experienced winters across several European countries. The generation facilities warming our cities run on gas and produce pollution where our populations live, decreasing the quality of life of Europeans.

In our fourth year, WePower has expanded in Europe and beyond. Our team has grown and our products are helping more customers than ever before. I’m proud to be part of WePower and the energy transition!”
