Kaluza unveiled today the appointment of Gavin Mooney as General Manager for Australia, along with other senior posts across operational excellence, marketing, and engineering. These announcements mark a decisive step in expanding Kaluza's reach and fortifying its global operations in Australia, the US and Japan.

Gavin Mooney, with over two decades of global energy software experience from esteemed companies such as SAP and Powercloud, will spearhead local operations from Melbourne. His duties include supporting the deployment of the Kaluza platform among Australian retailers. This will facilitate automation of core processes and innovation of new propositions for customers, opening up new avenues for development and progress.

Kaluza presently powers all customer accounts for OVO Energy Australia, helping the challenger energy retailer with a stunning +40 NPS and 45% reduction in the cost-to-serve. A month of singing praises for Kaluza's platform has seen OVO Energy Australia launch a series of propositions along electric vehicles (EVs) and solar panels, and thereby help customers save a considerable amount on their energy bills.

Gavin Mooney, General Manager of Australia, Kaluza, played up the significance of these efforts exclaiming, "Australia is primed for energy transformation. Abundant solar and increasing EV numbers are paving the way for more affordable, low-carbon solutions.

Alongside Gavin, Kaluza has also appointed Assia Iossifova, previous Marketing Director at Ocado Group, as its new VP of Communications and Marketing, head-quartered in London. Iossifova brings in vast experience, spanning over 15 years steering marketing for B2B software businesses reshaping critical sectors. Her role will be instrumental in fuelling Kaluzas global marketing in fresh territories.

Kevin Morris, having held a series of senior leadership positions including VP of Engineering at Medidata Solutions and Chief Technology Officer at Osprey Flight Solutions, also joins the Kaluza roster as VP of Engineering. His varied experience and sterling success in constructing efficient engineering teams will bolster Kaluzas ability to scale its SaaS platform and power countless more customer accounts globally.

Melissa Gander, CEO at Kaluza, warmly welcomed the new additions, saying, "It takes great people to build and commercialise world-class technology.
