JP is Chief Executive and Managing Partner at Elbow Beach, a climate tech fund backing technologies that enhance industrial productivity, efficiency, and performance at scale. With more than 20 years of commercial leadership experience in the technology and telecommunications sectors, including senior roles at BT Group, the FTSE 100 media and telecoms company, JP brings a disciplined focus on customer value, scalability, and measurable economic impact to cleantech investing.

Inspired by COP26 and driven by the conviction that the sector needed a more commercially rigorous approach, JP co-founded Elbow Beach to invest in technologies that deliver both superior customer outcomes and meaningful climate impact. Under his leadership, the firm targets transformative innovations across advanced manufacturing, green computing, automation, electrification, and low-carbon materials.

JP believes the future of cleantech sits at the intersection of commercial viability and climate benefit. He encourages founders to prioritise real customer value: solutions that lower costs, improve performance, and scale rapidly will define the next generation of climate technologies.
