In this episode of Powering Your Career, Dave sits down with Rakhesh Martyn, engineer, startup founder and former stand up comedian turned energy tech CEO.
Born in Sri Lanka and trained in the UK, Rakhesh shares his journey from chemical engineering into Australia’s energy sector, and the leap into building a venture backed startup from scratch.
This is a candid conversation about risk, rejection, reinvention and the mindset required to lead in the energy transition.

⚡ Surviving more than 90 investor rejections before raising capital
⚡ Why most people should not start a business
