London-based Allye Energy has promoted Dr Arghavan Nazemi to CTO after advancing the company’s technical direction and strengthening its position in intelligent battery energy storage systems (BESS). 

Nazemi joined the business in February this year as director of control systems and the company says she has since transformed its engineering operations, introducing new levels of discipline and innovation across software, embedded systems and control technologies.

Her leadership has been central to the development of Allye’s MAX range of BESS, with breakthroughs in grid-forming capabilities, seamless synchronisation and bi-directional power control — technologies key to modern grid resilience. 

She was previously a senior powertrain control engineer at Arrival and is a PhD graduate from Imperial College London.
