Selected work

What this looks like on the ground.

Energy storage · APAC sales lead

Ampd Energy

Riverstone assists with APAC sales for Ampd Energy’s battery energy storage systems for construction. We identified and onboarded distributors across most regional markets, hired and trained their local sales-engineering teams, and personally worked the coal face — site visits, tender meetings and project negotiations — to convert pipelines into closed business.

Outcome: Distributor channel live across most APAC markets · trained sales teams in market.

Pumping technology · Germany → AU/NZ/ID

Düchting Pumpen

Director, APAC for Düchting Pumpen — the German specialist in slurry, hard-rock mining and process pumps. Closed deals across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia by combining technical credibility with deep mining-customer networks built over two decades.

Outcome: Multi-jurisdiction revenue from a previously under-penetrated APAC region.

Hydrogen · APAC market development

EODev / TMCA GEH2

Building the APAC commercial market for EODev’s GEH2 stationary hydrogen fuel-cell generators, now assembled locally by Toyota Australia. Riverstone works on the ground and continues to open opportunities across the region.

Outcome: Customer deals booked across multiple sectors; growing pipeline beyond Australia.
