Jade BatstoneCo Founder

United Kingdom -

I’m a Silicon Valley native with extensive experience scaling innovative B2B software products. My career has spanned continents, industries, and missions - the common thread has always been building technology that drives real-world impact.

Today I’m the CEO and co-founder of Zendo Energy, a startup on a mission to decarbonise computing power. We're building the world’s first Energy OS for data centers, helping infrastructure operators transition to clean, intelligent energy systems.

Before founding Zendo, I led strategy and development at Unicorn Andela, a Softbank-backed global talent marketplace, helping to scale a company at the forefront of the future of work.

Prior to Andela, I led commercial teams and defined product strategy for Square’s UK expansion, helping to bring modern payment tools to thousands of British businesses. I also served as Head of SWIFT’s Product Innovation Lab, where I built and led teams developing software to solve critical challenges across the financial services industry.

I began my career in social impact, working with organizations like Not For Sale and Causes.com to expand economic inclusion and mobilize global communities. That early mission-driven focus continues to guide me - I’m inspired by ventures that pair commercial scale with positive societal outcomes.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find teaching yoga or else in the great outdoors - running, hiking, or cycling. I’m always looking to connect with curious, values-driven people building what’s next!
