Teri Kruger is the Founding Director and Strategist of Synergetics Africa, a sustainable solutions business. Synergetics supports progressive organisations to generate their own electricity using the sun’s free rays and avoid the crippling loadshedding events supported with high quality, South African-produced lithium-ion batteries. This approach gives our clients an opportunity to position themselves with a competitive advantage in the future of an energy, water and carbon-constrained world. Teri has received multiple awards for her contributions to renewable energy, environmental sustainability, as well as science, engineering and technology. Her speaking career has taken her to Japan, Austria, India and many engagements in South Africa on global stages as well as with educational institutions. Her knowledge base extends to the fields of business strategy, demand creation, resource efficiency, technical standards, youth development, renewable energy power and environmental risk mitigation, so bringing insights from a number of perspectives. With a passion for people and the environment, Teri wants to create the momentum that induces positive change. Her focus is to support an organisation’s success by reducing essential resource costs by powering its operations with clean power, thereby mitigating the business’ risks and their climate change impacts for them to gain a significant business advantage.
