In detail:
With more than 15 years’ experience, Toby brings deep cross-sector expertise across transport decarbonisation, spanning all modes and technologies – from fleet electrification to alternative fuels and the roll out of enabling infrastructure. His clients value his ability to bridge commercial strategy with technical insight, enabling pragmatic pathways to net zero.
Before joining Baringa, Toby held senior roles in engineering consultancy, where he built and led teams focused on the future of mobility. He has spent his professional life at the intersection of infrastructure, technology and the energy transition – from advising on new mobility business models to shaping the roll-out of major decarbonisation programmes.
Toby is passionate about exploring new places and cultures, whether through work or during family adventures. He’s at peace out on the water - sailing, kitesurfing, wakesurfing - anything that involves wind, waves or a board. Life at home is lively too, as he and his wife keep pace with their young family’s endless energy.
