It's been a banger of a year for Gentrack, joining the NZX50 and reaching a $1 billion market capitalisation.
In this episode, we talk to Gentrack's chief technology officer, Mark Rees, who joined the company early this year after a decade at Xero.
Rees offers insight into how Gentrack's software is helping utility companies manage at a time of massive disruption for the energy generation market and explains how AI and hyper-personalisation could create an even more resilient and affordable energy system.
He also discusses what it's like to be a top tech executive at a global tech company.
Plus, what's all this fuss about the Commerce Commission and open banking?
