Listen "Episode 10 - Chris Milne - Orbital Marine Power"
Episode Synopsis
In the latest episode we speak to Chris Milne, the CFO at Orbital Marine Power.
Orbital Marine Power are pioneering tidal energy at a time when climate change is nearing the top of the government’s agenda. And with the right backing, it could conceivably become a case of being in exactly the right place at the right time – one of the many reasons why we were so excited to catch up with Chris for our podcast.
Before joining Orbital, Chris worked with SSE Generation and Scottish Renewables, so very much built his career in the Energy sector. With so much experience in the sector, raising funds and building businesses that are both economically sound and commercially rewarding, Chris gave some great insights, including:
•The importance of finding early stage market support when building your business, so you can look for bigger investment as soon as you’re ready to scale.
•The benefits of crowdfunding, how it reduces the risk for potential investors and increases market visibility, especially if you are creating that market yourself.
•And how the key to becoming a great CFO is to work hard and genuinely enjoy what you’re doing.
We really enjoyed speaking to Chris – it’s such an exciting time to be working in the Energy sector, and he is so passionate about what he does.
Whether you’re looking to break into the Energy sector, or you’re a seasoned CFO yourself, today’s episode will give you a fascinating insight into a truly rewarding career in finance.
