About David Watson:
David Watson worked in the financial markets as a risk manager and portfolio manager at investment banks and a hedge fund, focused on asset-backed securities and credit instruments.
He co-founded Temporis with business partner Derry Guy in 2010, investing in renewable energy and clean technology to help create a positive impact for the environment.
In 2017, he co-founded Ohme also with Derry Guy when researching clean energy projects and saw an opportunity to adjust demand to meet supply using electric vehicles. He envisioned a smart charging system that would encourage customers to charge at off-peak times by reduced rates with suppliers even sometimes paying them to charge during times of over-supply.
He bought a Tesla and came up with the idea of controlling charging with a smart cable and giving customers better and more visible control. The first working prototype for the Ohme Home Charger was produced in 2018 (it\\u2019s still in David\\u2019s office today) and Octopus was the first supplier with the final production version in 2019 taking advantage of Octopus\\u2019s agile overnight tariffs for EV drivers.
Ohme has also been named by outside investors as a \\u2018gigacorn\\u2019 \\u2013 a company that has the potential to get rid of one gigatonne of CO2 from the atmosphere per year.
