Mr Bob Galyen is a true gentleman!...
I know that for sure as at either end of June 2023 I was lucky enough to be in his company, initially in Washington D.C at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence's Washington DC gathering, and then in Birmingham at Battery Cells & Systems Expo/Vehicle Electrification Expo.
Truly honoured to have spent time with Bob on both occasions, and witnessed at first hand his generosity in sharing invaluable knowledge and lessons learned - with everyone he encounters. And now it's your turn!
This is a 15 minute walk and talk we recorded at the show (initially shared as a video on my LinkedIn channel)... and if you operate anywhere in the orbit of energy, electric vehicles, batteries...there's surely something in it for YOU! 🔋
