GUEST BIO:
James Martin
Founder & CEO; Gulf Wind Technology
James Martin is Founder and CEO of Gulf Wind Technology, based at the historic Avondale Shipyard in Louisiana. One of their established objectives is to develop and demonstrate technologies that will de-risk wind power in complex wind environments, through innovations in safety, rotor design, and system operation in peak wind events such as hurricanes. James moved from the UK to the US in 2010 to establish one of the worlds most advanced manufacturing and technology centers for wind turbine blades, based at the NASA campus in New Orleans. He has led innovation in the field of large rotors including development of industrialized high-throughput manufacturing-led-designs for both the onshore and offshore wind segments. James holds a degree in Design and Technology from the University of Plymouth and an MBA from the Freeman Business School at Tulane University.
