As we enter a high-velocity phase of growth, Kaluza is evolving its leadership. Our Founder Stephen Fitzpatrick has returned as CEO and Andy Cox has been appointed Chair of the Kaluza Board taking over from Stephen. These changes mark the start of an important new chapter for the company, one shaped by where we see the energy industry heading and what it will take to lead in it.

Stephen Fitzpatrick returns as CEO

Stephen succeeds Mel Gander, who led Kaluza through a transformative period, growing the company from a single-customer subsidiary into an independent platform serving major clients across eight markets and tripling contracted recurring revenue in the process.

He returns with a clear conviction about where the industry is heading. Energy systems are becoming more electrified and dynamic, creating a level of complexity at scale that only intelligent, real-time software can manage. That's what Energy Intelligence means in practice - and AI is now transforming how quickly that intelligence can be built and deployed. 

The companies that move fastest now will define the future of the market, securing an edge that others will struggle to match - and Stephen's focus is on making sure Kaluza is a frontrunner in this critical shift.

Andy Cox appointed Chair

As part of this transition, Andy Cox steps into the role of Chair, having served as a Non-Executive Director since mid-2025. Andy brings deep experience at the intersection of energy, technology and finance. As Head of Energy Transition at Howden Group Holdings, he oversees financing solutions across energy and infrastructure. Before that, he served as Executive Chair at Zoa, an AI-powered electrification platform, and as Senior Partner and Head of UK Energy & Natural Resources at KPMG, where he built extensive relationships across key international markets including Japan - a strategically important market for Kaluza.

Andy's appointment strengthens governance at exactly the right moment. His combination of strategic leadership, market knowledge and international network makes him well suited to chair the board as the company scales and builds out the Energy Intelligence category. With Stephen focused on execution and delivery, Andy provides experienced oversight and the external perspective that will be important in this next stage of growth.

Looking ahead

The foundations are strong, the leadership is in place and the direction is clear. Over the coming months, there will be much more to share - new products, new partnerships and a new energy behind the brand driving accelerating an intelligent energy transition. 

This is an exciting moment for Kaluza, the industry and energy customers around the world.
