Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) announced that Joshua George has been appointed its chief financial and commercial officer, effective April 8.
The clean-technology company advancing energy solutions enabled by graphene said George brings more than 30 years of experience across commercial and financial leadership roles to the position.
Notably, he served as General Manager Commercial for Arrow Energy, a natural gas and energy joint venture between Shell and PetroChina, where he developed and implemented corporate strategy and deals, divestment of assets, and developed an energy markets team trading gas and electricity into the Australian markets.
Before joining Arrow, George worked at Tarong Energy, Santos, Amcor and as a Senior Auditor for KPMG.
"I'm looking forward to working with Josh again in the commercial, finance and capital markets areas of the company to develop GMG into a global commercial operation of selling energy and energy storage products with graphene manufactured from natural gas,” GMG CEO Craig Nicol said.
“I know his leadership work in successfully delivering commercial deals and very large multi-billion dollar transactions will support the progress of the company through a range of planned near-term milestones including ramping up global Thermal XR and G Lubricant sales and progressing through to investment for our automated battery pilot plant and modular graphene manufacturing plant phase 2.0."
GMG chairman John Perkowski added: "I warmly welcome Josh to the team as chief financial and commercial officer at an important time as the company transitions to a commercial operation and focuses on sales of its energy savings products, progressing its battery and graphene plants and to developing the US market for funding its development and growth initiatives.”
The company thanked Brandon Leong, chief financial officer since October 2023, for his service.
