What makes Behyad Jafari unique as a leader in the innovation space is his combined experience in the realm of business, non-profit, and even the political sphere.

In an era of rapidly changing technological innovations, leaders who have the vision and courage to make it reality thrive, which is why Behyad Jafari, CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council, continues to make waves in promoting an environmentally friendly transport vehicle.

The Electric Vehicle Council is Australia’s national body for the electric vehicle industry, The organisation produces research work and engagement programs to raise the awareness of people about this innovative mode of transportation.

“Uniquely, all 10 of the metals used to make batteries are right here. We have stable politics, some of the world’s best skilled workers and great educational credentials to train more,” the charismatic business leader wrote.

Despite this optimism, Behyad knows that there’s a lot of work to be done, comparing efforts to attracting the electric vehicle industry to that of attracting the Olympic games. Leaders need to hustle hard, he stressed, just to be in the race.
