Origami to leverage Clarke’s experience in developing disruptive technology that has revolutionised the online grocery sector and do the same in the energy industry

London, 11 November 2019 – Origami, a leading technology provider to the energy industry, is bolstering its advisory board team with the appointment of Paul Clarke. Paul currently serves as chief technology officer for Ocado, who provide the world’s leading technology platform for online grocery.

“I am delighted to welcome Paul to our advisory board,” said Peter Bance, chief executive officer, Origami. “During his time at Ocado, Paul has pioneered the technology that powers their ecommerce, fulfilment and logistics platform and built a world class technology brand. Paul’s experience and guidance will be invaluable as we continue to build our own technology to support the transformation of the energy industry.

“Paul is working with Centre for Digital Built Britain and others to develop a national digital twin; a virtual representation of the real-world environment. Using digital twins de-risks large projects and helps businesses understand how changes in process, technology, and business models can quickly expose new risks and opportunities. We look forward to working with Paul to explore the huge opportunities available in using digital twins in the energy industry.”

“My current role includes exploring opportunities to use Ocado’s technologies to disrupt other sectors,” commented Paul Clarke. “Origami is perfectly placed to lead the digital transformation of the energy industry and I’m excited to join Origami’s advisory board at this time.”
