Based in Australia and with 30 years of environmental experience in the distribution, manufacturing and e-commerce industries, Booton will be responsible for developing routes to market and investment opportunities for EnergiVault in Oceania.
He said: “The requirement for cooling resilience in warmer climates is very apparent, and I’m looking forward to working with a product that can provide that in abundance. The limited power supply in some locations means a lack of cooling capacity limits industries. EnergiVault will unlock this issue with its ability to charge from renewable sources and through the low operating current off-peak charging.”
Bob Long, executive chairman and founder of O-Hx, said: “Hotter industrialised countries such as Australia present prime opportunities for us, so we are delighted to have someone like Steve onboard. He is renowned as a resilient, communicative leader and has developed a reputation for delivering in competitive markets. He will be key in developing business in Oceania.”
