About Max Aitken
Background
I’m a UK-based entrepreneur. I have been building businesses since 1999, though from 2008 I’ve exclusively focused on energy transition ventures.
My drive is to create a clean energy future: more energy, lower costs and lower carbon.
In 2023 I started “10-Second Climate” to communicate facts around climate change and the energy transition in a fast, engaging way.
