James Quinn led one of the world’s most daring energy startups, Faradion transforming sodium‑ion chemistry from lab curiosity into a viable, market-ready energy storage solution. He saw the future beyond lithium and built one of the first companies to commercialize next-gen batteries with global reach.

Under his leadership, Faradion developed cells that rival lithium‑ion in safety, cost, and performance, capturing investor attention and earning a strategic acquisition by a major industrial group in reliance on their revolutionary IP. James moved the company from early science into mainstream energy plans, building partnerships, patents, and commercial opportunities along the way.

James doesn’t talk about incremental improvement. He built a global case for sodium-ion batteries, not just as an alternative, but as the future. He made the product real, scalable, and strategically vital for the next wave of clean mobility and grid storage.
