about virtos

Leading the Charge

Our team has built, scaled and deployed high-power charging systems for more
than a decade, from early fast charging to today's megawatt platforms.
WHY WE EXIST
Built by the People
Who Built this Industry.
Virtos was founded in October 2023 by engineers and operators who were there at the start of EV charging, and who saw the grid becoming the next barrier to fleet electrification before most of the industry did. We built Virtos to solve that problem directly, not to work around it.
Our Technology

We work with a pioneer mindset, build to endure, move fast with purpose, and own every outcome. Together we are shaping the next era of electrification and taking charging beyond limits.

Our Purpose
To accelerate electrified mobility through revolutionary charging infrastructure.
Our Mission
We deliver high-performance EV charging systems that power the future of mobility. Built to scale beyond the limits of the grid, built
to last, and built to deliver reliable, real-world impact.
Our Vision
A cleaner future where large-scale EV adoption is effortless, enabled by reliable infrastructure that scales beyond the limits of the grid.
HOW WE WORK

Values Built into
Every Outcome

Our values shape how we think, build and collaborate, from challenging convention to taking ownership and delivering work designed to last.

Pioneer Mindset

VALUE 01
We think like visionaries and build like founders. We stay curious, challenge convention, and pursue bold ideas with purpose. We see what is possible before it exists, and we have the conviction to create it.

Driven to Deliver

VALUE 02
We move rapidly and make it count.

We bring energy, clarity and intent to everything we do. Good ideas are only as strong as the outcomes they create.

Built to Endure

VALUE 03
We think in decades, not just
deliverables.
Our work is built for long-
term value, economically,
environmentally and structurally.

Own the Outcome

VALUE 04
We act like owners and deliver like
partners. We take responsibility for the
 quality of our work, the strength of our relationships, and the outcomes we share.

Our Founders

The People
Behind the Platform

We work with a pioneer mindset, build to endure, move fast with purpose, and own every outcome. Together, we’re shaping the next era of electrification and taking charging beyond limits.

The future of heavy transport will not be defined
by who builds the best vehicles. It will be defined by the energy infrastructure to power them. That is why we created Virtos.

James Kennedy

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Established in October 2023, Virtos is investor-backed
and built for global deployment from day one.

We work with a select group of strategic partners and investors who share our conviction: that the megawatt charging market is opening now, and that solving the hard infrastructure problems (grid constraints, reliability, scalability, operational flexibility) is what
will define the winners.

For investors, that means exposure to heavy-fleet electrification
at the infrastructure layer, backed by a platform engineered to
scale globally.

James Kennedy

CEO
James is a co-founder and CEO of Virtos, bringing over 25 years of experience in power electronics, electric vehicles, and charging infrastructure. Previously, James co-founded Tritium in 2001, serving as CTO and Director through to its NASDAQ listing in 2021.

A Registered Professional Engineer (Qld) with a BE(Hons), James has been involved with EV technology since the University of Queensland’s SunShark solar racing car, and has contributed to projects ranging from James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger submarine to multi-MWh stationary storage systems. He founded Virtos to lead the next frontier of grid-scale fleet electrification.

Harry Watson

Co-Founder
A qualified Mechanical & Aerospace Engineer and second-time start-up founder (Virtos and SwingSense), Harry has worked in product development for 13 years, with the last 7 in eMobility. Through various roles at Metromatics, SwingSense, Tritium and Virtos, he has expanded his technical expertise in mechanical design, electrical systems, software development and manufacturing optimisation.

At Tritium, Harry progressed from continuous improvement engineer to lead engineer, where he successfully reduced costs by ~20% on both major product lines through Value Engineering, before being promoted to Program Manager overseeing the development and launch of the PKM product line.

Michael Walton

Chief Engineer
Michael leads the product development team at Virtos, with particular focus on cross-discipline engineering. He is passionate about simple, robust, elegant solutions that perform predictably. Michael has worked in eMobility for 20 years, on both the vehicle design side and the charging infrastructure development and roll-out side.
He has performed a range of roles including software, electronics, control systems for EVs, and production, electrical and systems engineering for chargers.

Dion Sumpton

CTO
Dion oversees technology development at Virtos, with a focus on firmware, software, and electronics. He is passionate about reliable, well-designed products that balance technical innovation with simplicity. Dion has worked in the eMobility field for over 10 years, previously joining Tritium as a hardware design engineer in 2013 before progressing to a senior leadership role as Director of Firmware Engineering. He is considered an industry expert in all aspects of EV charging communications and interoperability.
