The Jeff Bullas Show

Gareth Evans is committed to a mission of empowering businesses and communities to make the global transition towards a more affordable, secure, and renewable energy future.

Gareth has been a leader his entire life. From working in charity and community organizations, and leading sports teams to military operations, Gareth has parlayed these experiences into building teams and businesses that challenge the planet’s greatest challenges and opportunities – he is now focusing on enabling companies to successfully navigate the energy transition.

His time in Iraq following the Gulf War set his mission in motion; it opened his eyes to a world without access to reliable energy and other essentials needed to survive. He saw the impact that can have on the stability of a region and the health and success of businesses and communities. Driven by this experience, he committed himself to finding solutions that create profitable and sustainable energy outcomes such that we can all thrive.

‌Last year, businesses lost $150B due to grid outages. How are they expected to make the transition to sustainable energy without sacrificing their bottom line? Gareth Evans, CEO & Founder of VECKTA, has the solution.

‌He and his team utilize their platform to track performance, emission reductions, and savings to hold suppliers accountable and be ready to act on new opportunities quickly.

‌Gareth’s background working on some of the biggest energy reserves in the world and his commitment to sustainability drive his team’s mission of enabling businesses and communities towards a renewable future.
