Anne Buckingham: EV Infra, Leadership & The Energy Narrative

This week on CleanTalk, Director/Producer Luke Harmer visits Evolt Charging (formerly Swarco Smart Charging) to meet Managing Director Anne Buckingham and unravel her career story. With an extensive background in business management, Anne shares her reflections and insights on the importance of understanding people & personality profiles, the challenges of running a business in a disruptive & ever-changing sector, and why you should consider the renewable's sector for your next career move. They also unpack the wider narrative surrounding the energy transition, asking what's needed to re-shape our public discourse for an optimistic future.

Evolt Charging plays a pivotal role in building the transport infrastructure of the future for the UK and in this conversation you'll learn not only what they do, but how they're doing it and, rather impressively, for an incredibly nuanced range of clients and stakeholders.

Enjoy!
