Ayyappan Muthukrishnan, Business Development - Internship at reLi Energy GmbH
About
I’m a strategic engineering and business development professional with over 14 years of international experience leading high-impact projects, scaling operations, and driving revenue growth across energy, petrochemical, water & desalination and industrial sectors.
Now completing a dual master’s in renewable energy through EIT InnoEnergy (KTH, UPC, ESADE), I’m leveraging my commercial and technical background to contribute to the global energy transition.
My recent work includes initiating Oman’s first $900M+ green hydrogen-powered copper smelter project, aligning stakeholders, shaping feasibility frameworks, and driving early-stage execution. I've also built revenue-generating technical divisions, led EPC projects worth $10M+, and scaled a multi-sector portfolio to over $25M.
I’m now looking to apply my experience and energy in clean tech commercialization, energy optimization, and sustainable project leadership roles across Europe and beyond.
