About APARA
Who we are
APARA is a group of professionals who found each other along the way — some sooner, some later in their careers — and decided they wanted to keep working together. Out of that came APARA: a place built around people we genuinely enjoy collaborating with.
A hub for expertise and for the passion behind energy, electrical engineering, automation and instrumentation.
We are an experienced and driven team, and we want to put that experience to work beyond our home turf — bringing it into other industries where the energy transition still needs to happen on the ground.
The people behind APARA
These are the people who will guide you through the commercial process. Behind them, APARA has a team of more than 10 engineers specialised in electrical, instrumentation, automation & SCADA, protections, and project management — delivering the work on the ground.
Founder & Managing Director
“An engineer who fell in love with electrons before he knew what they were called.”
Founder and Managing Director of APARA. Electrical engineer and PhD with 20+ years across substations, protection systems and EPC projects for utilities, ports and industrial asset owners in Europe. Leads the company's direction and client relationships.
Chief Operations Officer
“Driven by operational excellence and the discipline of digitalising the way teams work.”
Chief Operations Officer at APARA. Engineer with an MBA and a background in project management on EPC projects across the energy sector, bringing a commercially driven mindset to operations, digitalisation and the internal tooling that keeps projects on track and teams aligned.
Technical Director
“A people's manager who has spent 40 years quietly making complex plants come to life.”
Technical Director at APARA. 40 years in electrical engineering, mostly in industrial gases and hydrogen. Leads the engineering team and shapes the technical direction of the company alongside Adrian.
Head of Business Development
“A commercial leader who believes excellence — in business or in wine — is built on patience and respect for the origin.”
Head of Business Development at APARA. Two decades of commercial leadership at Cisco, Heineken and Philips. Drives APARA's commercial expansion and strategic partnerships.
Our Purpose
Our work exists to decarbonise industry. Through APARA, asset owners electrify their plants, integrate renewables and energy storage, and build the EV, shore-power and hydrogen infrastructure of the energy transition, directly cutting CO₂ emissions. By unlocking hidden electrical capacity through smarter engineering and dynamic rating, we help clients avoid the emissions and cost of unnecessary grid reinforcement and new construction. Real engineering, delivered to commissioning, with a measurable impact on the climate.
SDG 7 — Affordable and Clean Energy
Electrification, renewables and energy-management engineering.
SDG 9 — Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Modern, resilient electrical and instrumentation infrastructure for industry.
SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities
Grid-connection and EV-charging engineering that relieves urban grid congestion.
SDG 12 — Responsible Consumption and Production
Life-time extension and dynamic rating that extend asset life and avoid new build.
SDG 13 — Climate Action
Cutting CO₂ by electrifying industrial assets and processes.
SDG 17 — Partnerships for the Goals
Delivering with partners such as SEL and COPA-DATA.
The energy transition is defined by execution challenges. Grid constraints, protection requirements, and system integration demand engineering expertise that goes beyond the theoretical. APARA is where that engineering gets done.
