Ep 22 - Dr. Jemma Green - Powerledger
We have really outdone ourselves this episode by chatting with a truly "Supercharged" guest, Dr. Jemma Green, Co-Founder and Chairman of Powerledger.
After completing a business degree majoring in Finance at Murdoch University, Perth, Jemma joined J.P. Morgan in London. At the time financial markets were just starting to take sustainability seriously and had begun interrogating major projects on their triple bottom line. Her job was to check environmental performance of clients and their ventures, while not degrading the profitability of the bank too badly. This was always going to be an interesting and nuanced task and brought plenty of internal soul searching and conflict. As Jemma formulated her own thoughts on the matter she tried to raise the sustainability of relatively simple things like the bank's waste policy and found that nothing was straightforward.
Looking for a fresh challenge, Jemma completed two post-grad diplomas in sustainability with a Masters at Cambridge University. She returned to Perth in 2013 to do a PhD in electricity market disruption at Curtin University with a project that explored solar power in apartment buildings. This PhD was in effect an embryonic example of what is now a classic Powerledger theme, peer to peer sharing. Soon after completing the PhD, she and her co-founders, looked at blockchain technology and framed some of the ideas in the doctorate and put the new venture on a commercial footing. Since then, Jemma has developed numerous projects that exploit transactive energy, using blockchain in various market layers. Clients include eKwateur in France, M-RETS in the USA, Chiang Mai Thailand with TDED.
