Hi, I'm Praveen Atmuri

Non-profit Board Director
About me
Based in Brisbane, Australia, I have 20 years of experience in Australia’s energy sector, spanning commercial, engineering and operations roles.
I am currently Head of the SCADA, Control Systems and OT business unit at EPEC Group, leading talented engineers who are delivering industrial automation projects for large-scale renewable generation, energy storage and grid-connection infrastructure.
I am passionate about turning engineering and commercial challenges into opportunities, helping people achieve their full potential, and helping organisations grow strategically and sustainably.
I’m particularly 'energised' by Australia’s transition to cleaner energy sources and the opportunities it creates for collaboration between researchers, engineers, government and investors.
