Neara
Jack Curtis is the Chief Commercial Officer of Neara.
Neara is taking all its experience on improving reliability and resiliency of critical infrastructure learned in Australia and bringing it to America, as the energy and utilities industry undergoes a massive transformation here. The company, through digitization, is on a journey to help utilities solve big problems.
Utilities in all countries are grappling with storms, wildfires, and more. Neara is here to help, removing some of the safety risk that goes along with such issues, by providing unique insights into them via digital twinning.
PUF sat down with an expert on how all this technology works, Neara's Jack Curtis, Chief Commercial Officer, who explains what this journey is, and where it is going, now that Neara has traveled from its home in Australia to come to America.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Jack, you're busy. What's going on?
Jack Curtis: It's been exceptionally busy. In the Australian state in which I live, New South Wales, which is roughly the same size as the state of Texas, we're experiencing one in a thousand-year floods. Last year, we had one in a hundred-year floods. We're living an unfortunate reality of these floods becoming more intense and more frequent.
