Energy One Limited (Energy One) is pleased to announce that, after an extensive global search process, a successful candidate has been selected to transition to the role of Chief Executive, to replace Shaun Ankers upon his retirement in 2026.
The role of CEO (Designate) has been filled by an internal candidate, Benjamin (Ben) Tranier, who is currently the General Manager of Europe.
Ben, who joined in 2024 to lead Europe, has taken an already-successful European business operation and positioned it for even greater success. This has included growing revenue by 20%, adding 30 new customers in the past year, building a global sales organisation, aligning customer success teams, focusing on client satisfaction and driving the product vision.
Prior to working for Energy One, Ben has had a very successful 20-year career at leading global energy software firms. He has led major product integrations and commercial initiatives, contributing significantly to revenue growth. His achievements include building high-performing global teams, securing strategic customers through geographic expansion, and shaping innovation in energy trading solutions.
Ben will retain a European base and will assume the role on the 1st of March 2026. At that time, Shaun Ankers will move to (initially) an Executive Director role, followed by a Non-Executive Director role.
Shaun Ankers commented: “I am thrilled to see the appointment of Ben to this role. He is accomplished in building energy software businesses, I look forward to supporting him as he drives global growth, taking us to the next level.”
Chairman Andrew Bonwick noted: “The Board conducted an international and local search, and we are pleased that Ben was chosen as the best candidate for Chief Executive of Energy One. As part of the process, we reviewed both a local and/or European location for the CEO, but consistent with our global growth strategy, it makes sense to have our CEO based in Europe. We are proud to be an Australian ASX listed Company and look forward to continuing our global success.”
