Zoisa North-Bond
CEO, Octopus Energy Generation
Zoisa North-Bond is the dynamic CEO of three tentacles of the Octopus Energy Group: Octopus Energy Generation, Octopus Energy for Business, and Octopus Electroverse.
On a mission to harness the abundance of renewable energy, Zoisa and her team are connecting cheap, clean power with communities and businesses around the globe. Through its generation arm, Octopus is investing in technology that is reshaping the energy system from the ground up and oversees close to 5 GW of projects across 21 countries, worth £7 billion.
Zoisa’s leadership has sparked a series of bold, tech-driven innovations including Octopus’s Fan Club tariff, providing discounted energy to people living near wind turbines; Winder (‘Tinder for wind’) – a world-first matchmaking platform that connects more than 45,000 wind-enthusiastic communities with landowners, finding the perfect spots for turbines to ease grid stress and deliver cheap power where demand is high. Zoisa also built the Collective, the UK's first regulated retail investment platform, driving public ownership of clean energy projects.
She is the co-founder of Octopus Electroverse, now Europe’s largest public EV charging network with 1 million users, and leads Octopus Energy for Business, supplying 100% carbon-free energy to 120,000 customers, from SMEs to global brands like Arsenal FC.
Zoisa is committed to advancing the abundant renewables potential of the African continent as a lever for growth. Under her management, the company launched the Octopus Power Africa Initiative to mobilise $450m clean energy investment across Sub-Saharan Africa and is building Sierra Leone’s first wind farm together with Idris Elba’s Akuna Group.
Zoisa is also a Director of the Octopus Energy Diversity Foundation, co-created the Africa Energy Entrepreneurship Award with the King’s Sustainable Markets Initiative, and was appointed to the Global Citizen Europe Board in 2025, supporting its mission to end extreme poverty by focusing on issues of health, hunger, and climate change.
