We are pleased to announce that Gemma Godfrey―a serial entrepreneur with global board experience in financial services, technology, media, public policy, and sustainability, as well as a degree in quantum physics―today joins our Board of Directors.

Kevin Chin, our Executive Chairman and CEO said: “Gemma brings a really unique mix of skills and experience. With a track record of building and advising fast-growing companies, her knowledge and expertise will be invaluable as we continue to hyperscale our electric vehicle and sustainable energy solutions offerings.”

During her tenure as CEO, she was named to the Innovate Finance “Standout 35” Women in the FinTech Power list. The company, which was later acquired by FTSE 250 insurance group JLT, also earned “Best Startup” at the Digital Entrepreneur Awards.

Based in London, Gemma has also served as an advisor to the UK government on its 10-year strategy to improve financial wellbeing country-wide. This complements her work launching The Times Money Mentor, a digital media business that helps consumers make smarter financial choices.

Gemma Godfrey, upon her appointment, commented: “I’m thrilled to join a company certified as “using business as a force for good” as it continues to accelerate its growth and harness the power of digital transformation. We can all understand the need to cut energy costs, improve efficiency, and help the planet. VivoPower’s electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions help its customers to do just that.”
