James Eaton is the Co-Founder and CEO of IONETIC where they give niche vehicle-makers a highly time-efficient and cost-effective route to electrification, empowering them to successfully overcome the complex challenges of adapting to the future of mobility. James grew up in Yorkshire and studied Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London where he developed skills in design, manufacture, and testing of battery packs for electric vehicles. Spotting an opportunity in the market, James began building a consultancy alongside Monica Marinescu, a Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London with over 10 years’ experience in battery technologies. Combining its in-house operations with a highly agile development and production philosophy, IONETIC enables niche vehicle-makers to significantly cut the time and costs required to achieve a comprehensive battery pack solution. Did I mention James is only 24 years old?
