Oliver Phillpott is the Co-Founder and CEO of Generational, an innovative startup that provides battery assessments and monitoring for EVs. Generational’s solutions help to increase the sale speed and value of EVs by providing confidence to the used market. The company is backed by the Advanced Propulsion Centre, the UK government body for net-zero automotive innovation. Earlier in his career, Oliver spent several years as a consultant at Alfa Financial Software, where he worked closely with automotive finance companies on large-scale technology projects.

He later moved to the world of electric fleets, leading the development of the UK’s first fully electric delivery fleet at Weezy, an on-demand grocery start-up. When Weezy was acquired by Turkish 10-minute grocery pioneer Getir, he stayed on to lead the UK strategy team and worked on the billion-dollar acquisition of Gorillas. After witnessing the impact of battery degradation on a large-scale electric fleet operation, Oliver started Generational in late 2023 with his co-founder Rushen Patel, who led vehicle modelling and data science at the Red Bull Racing F1 team.

Oliver holds a BA from the University of Cambridge, an MBA from INSEAD, and sits on the boards of multiple clean-tech startups and NGOs.
