The Challenge

Cero Generation, a leading European solar energy developer and part of the Macquarie group, faced a significant challenge. With a vast portfolio comprising 25GW of solar and storage capacity and ambitious plans for further expansion, Cero needed a Head of Energy Storage to lead their Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) division.

The BESS sector was emerging rapidly, and the market was marked by a shortage of skilled professionals. The specialised nature of the role meant that finding a candidate with the right expertise and experience was particularly difficult.

Our Solution

Leap29 embarked on an exhaustive search within the renewable energy sector, leveraging their extensive network and industry knowledge. They identified Tadgh Cullen, a standout professional from one of Cero Generation’s direct competitors. Recognising Cullen’s potential and the alignment of his skills with Cero’s requirements, Leap29 headhunted him for the role.

Our Results

The recruitment of Tadgh Cullen proved to be an exceptional fit for Cero Generation. Cullen’s extensive knowledge and experience in the BESS sector immediately added value to the company. His innovative approach and leadership qualities were evident from the start, leading to significant advancements in Cero’s energy storage projects.

As a testament to his impact and capabilities, Cullen has now progressed to the role of Director of Energy Storage at Cero Generation. The successful placement by Leap29 not only resolved the immediate recruitment challenge but also strengthened Cero’s strategic position in the renewable energy market.
