Monique is a veteran clean tech professional, combining extensive entrepreneurial and board experience with a determination for accelerating a zero-carbon future.
Monique’s passion for scaling up businesses stems from her own experience as co-founder of Flexicar, later bought by Hertz Australia. Since its acquisition, Monique has played an instrumental part in several clean tech companies, including JET Charge, DC Power Co and MetroElectro.
She is the current Chairperson of Energy Safe Victoria and JET Charge, a board member of Breakthrough Victora and a Venture Partner with Wavemaker Impact, and brings to Hysata extensive experience across major stakeholders segments including investors, founders, customers, and government.
Monique Conheady said:
“I’m delighted to be joining Hysata at such an important time in its scale up journey. It is exciting to see Hysata’s rapid progress in commercialising its high efficiency electrolyser that will create tangible benefits for our climate and unlock economic benefits for Australia.
“Hysata’s technology is fundamental for net-zero – playing a vital role in deeply decarbonising the hard to abate sectors. Its ultra-high efficiency electrolysers are unmatched by their competitors in hydrogen production cost benefits, which have resulted in strong commercial traction to date. This is an exciting opportunity to support an Australian clean tech leader, and I look forward to working closely with Hysata’s leadership team.”
Hysata CEO Paul Barrett said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Monique to the Hysata Board. Monique will make a valuable contribution to our strategic decisions, providing advice that draws on her extensive experience in the energy sector.
