James Kruger was a child prodigy who graduated university as the youngest in his year...but he won't tell you that. Working his way up to being an in-house lawyer for Macquarie Bank, James pivoted into the finance side of the business and left his legal career behind.
OK he's not Elon Musk! But he does own a Tesla and in 2015 the experience shifted his focus to move into a business within Macquarie that would have a social and environmental impact.
Now heading up the finance arm of Macquarie in Hong Kong, James is looking for finance deals in the "Critical Mineral" space where the likes of lithium, colbalt and graphite all play a part.
James explains why Telsa is not a car company but a battery business that is 2-3 years ahead of the competition and what needs to happen in Australia for electric vehicles, home charging stations and renewable energy to all meet in the middle and start serving the masses.
