Unreasonable Mentors

Jenny Skinner

Managing Director, Voltsmart - internationally patented, energy-reduction fuse board technology.

Jenny is an Unreasonable Mentor.
With a proven track record in strategic business development across a range of sectors, I specialise in identifying growth opportunities, building high-impact partnerships and helping innovative ideas to scale into commercially successful ventures.
I currently play a key role in the development and growth of Voltsmart, the UK-developed energy reduction fuse board designed to improve electrical efficiency, lower energy consumption and support the transition to a more resilient, electrified energy system. As the only technology of its kind capable of delivering measurable energy savings through the home's electrical infrastructure, it represents a new approach to tackling demand side avoidable energy waste.
My work sits at the intersection of innovation, partnerships, policy and market development, with a particular focus on accelerating the adoption of practical technologies that deliver environmental, economic and social value at scale.
I believe the most powerful solutions are those that can create meaningful impact with minimal friction and I'm always interested in connecting with people who are exploring ambitious approaches to energy transition, sustainability and systems change.
Outside of work, I'm happiest outdoors, whether that's walking, exploring new places or simply spending time in nature. I'm passionate about health and wellbeing and have a strong interest in personal growth, mindfulness, manifestation and spirituality. I find these perspectives help me stay grounded, maintain balance and bring a broader sense of purpose and curiosity to both my professional and personal life.
