It's been a banger of a year for Gentrack, joining the NZX50 and reaching a $1 billion market capitalisation.

In this episode, we talk to Gentrack's chief technology officer Mark Rees, who joined the company early this year after a decade at Xero.

Rees offers insight into how Gentrack's software is helping utility companies manage at a time of massive disruption for the energy generation market and explains how AI and hyper-personalisation could create an even more resilient and affordable energy system.

He also opens up about what it's like to be in the top tech exec role at a global tech company.

Plus, what's all this fuss about the Commerce Commission and open banking?
