Cambridge – Superdielectrics, the Cambridge-based energy storage technology company, announces the appointment of Jane Hunter as CEO effective from 1 September 2025. Jim Heathcote, Superdielectrics’ co-founder and CEO, will retire from his position on 31 August 2025.

Jane Hunter joins Superdielectrics from Tritium, an Australian company that designs, sells, manufactures and services fast DC chargers for electric vehicles, where she was CEO for 4 years. As part of this role, Ms Hunter led the firm’s fundraising and expansion efforts.

Prior to joining Tritium, Jane Hunter held numerous senior roles at leading international businesses, including as COO of Phantom Works International, a disruptive technology division of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. At Phantom Works International, Ms Hunter was instrumental in the launch of the MQ-28 Ghost Bat aircraft, the first Australian-designed and built military aircraft in over 50 years. Other responsibilities include leading Phantom Works’ Projects and Business Operations which had a portfolio of 13 advanced technology projects with a combined value of around $170m. Before joining Boeing, Jane Hunter was a Commercial Manager in Information Technology at Echo Entertainment Group Ltd. A qualified lawyer, Ms Hunter began her career as a barrister in her home-country of Australia.

Jane Hunter joins Superdielectrics at a pivotal moment. Following the successful launch of Faraday 2, Superdielectrics’ next generation aqueous polymer battery storage technology, earlier this year, the Company is poised to embark on the next stage of its ambitious growth plan. Leveraging Ms Hunter’s extensive experience in growing technology companies, Superdielectrics intends to undertake a fundraise to develop a first ISO approved product to lead to the commercialisation of its internationally patented Faraday technology.

Superdielectrics’ technology is designed to bring the combined cost of renewable energy generation and storage below that of fossil fuel-derived electricity. The first commercial application - a fridge sized residential energy storage unit - has the potential to become a completely new, low cost, household appliance for safely storing renewable electricity in homes worldwide.
