Our founding team

Tristan has a background rooted firmly in the sustainable energy sector, combining technical wizardry with a deep understanding of the issues affecting the electrification of transport.

Before co-founding Diode, Tristan worked for low carbon consultancy, Element Energy, where he led their work in EV consumer and charging behaviour modelling for the likes of National Grid, the Department for Transport, and Transport for London.

Benji is our resident tennis ball expert, sock durability tester and food taster. He has worked tirelessly on his role for his entire life and is totally committed, especially the food tasting.

He is a multitasking ninja with the ability to keep one eye on the door at all times to prevent suspicious people from entering the premises, whilst carefully observing every bite of food being eaten by anyone to ensure not even a crumb is left on the ground, to prevent ant and other insect invasions…of course!
