Benedict Shegog is a product manager working on the energy transition.

I’m Special Projects Lead at Granular Energy, a SaaS platform helping energy suppliers move to 24/7 clean energy. I work on finding and kicking off new services, regulatory projects, and industry accreditation, amongst other things.

Before energy, I worked in fintech. I was the first product manager at Wagestream where I worked on savings and financial coaching features. Before that, I led an engineering team building internal ops tooling at a UK bank, and was an early hire at fintech consultancy 11:FS.

Earlier still, I worked at a charity building savings and loan groups in Kenya and Tanzania, and have an MSc in Development Studies from SOAS.

I started in climate in 2021 — if you’re considering doing the same, get in touch.
