Who I am glad to hear from, and what I cannot discuss

Search partners and nomination committee chairs thinking of me for an independent directorship will find what I am looking for on my Board Readiness page. A first note helps most if it names the company, the committees in mind, how often the board meets and whether the company has any dealings with Indhanvi City Gas, Kestrelmoor Infrastructure Fund, our CNG dealers or our pipeline contractors, because I screen for conflicts before agreeing to meet. Marketing and customer leaders from other utilities, electricity distributors and charging businesses are just as welcome if they want to swap experience on counting adoption, teaching safe use or paying dealers fairly, and so are organisers of industry and governance events.

Some subjects stay off the table. Indhanvi's unpublished numbers, gas sourcing, tariff intentions and anything pending with the regulator remain inside the company, and agencies or vendors hoping to sell to us should approach our procurement team instead. Recruiters will understand that I am not moving while our present programme runs. Messages sent through this page come to me directly, and I try to answer each one within seven days.
