TEAGUE EGAN FOUNDER AND CEO , ENERGYX
Teague Egan is a serial entrepreneur and the Founder and CEO of EnergyX . “ Along the way , I ' ve worn every single hat in the company ,” he jokes . “ From marketing and finance to capital raising , science and technology … I ’ ve got a great team around me , and I think it helps that , as an outsider , I can provide a different perspective on the challenges faced with lithium tech and lead the team in breaking things down to a first-principles approach . That team of people are much smarter than me , but it ’ s my job as CEO to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and try to connect the dots .”
He is responsible for all aspects of building the company into the world leader in renewable energy technologies . His focus is on commercialising the LiTAS™ technology for direct lithium extraction and the company ’ s SoLiS™ solid-state battery electrolytes . He believes 100- hour working weeks and little sleep is the recipe to success . Egan ’ s entrepreneurial background is in investing , inventing , and philanthropy . He has been working across public sector energy assets and sustainable technologies since 2013 . Prior to EnergyX , he started businesses in entertainment , music , and sports and is also the inventor of EnergyDNA – a patented multi-component graphene textile fibre technology .
