Zoisa North-Bond

CEO, Octopus Energy Generation & Octopus Energy for Business

Zoisa is the dynamic CEO of three tentacles of Octopus Energy Group - Octopus Energy Generation, Octopus Energy for Business and Octopus Electroverse.

Octopus Energy Generation is on a mission to create an abundance of cheap, green energy for people around the world, and already manages hundreds of renewables projects in 18 countries worth £7bn. 

Zoisa’s team comes up with innovative tech-enabled products to transform ingrained thinking about energy and positively influence the net zero economy. This includes the ‘Fan Club’ with 30,000+ communities requesting local wind turbines with cheaper bills and Winder (Tinder for Wind) - all engaging people around clean energy.

Starting her career in PR and communications, her passion for storytelling and understanding her customers has run through everything she does. When she entered the energy sector over 15 years ago, it was clear to her we needed to shift to clean energy sources. What’s more, she saw the need to bring people on the journey around how this will boost energy security, tackle climate change, and importantly, bring down their energy bills. 

Before joining Octopus as one of its early employees of a now 10,000 person business, she was the UK CEO of Dutch Utility Eneco B.V. growing their UK renewable assets. Zoisa also serves as a Trustee of the Octopus Energy Equality Foundation and Younity, Octopus Energy’s community energy joint venture with Midcounties Coop.
