Cain Chapman is the Country Manager for New Zealand at EnerSys, a global leader in stored energy solutions, where he is responsible for driving strategy, customer engagement, and operational performance across the region.

With deep expertise in industrial battery technologies—including lead-acid, Ni-Cd, and emerging energy storage solutions—Cain has built a reputation for translating complex technical challenges into practical, real-world outcomes for critical infrastructure, logistics, and power resilience applications.

Throughout his career, Cain has worked closely with industries where power reliability is non-negotiable—from cold chain and transport to utilities and defence—helping organisations improve uptime, safety, and total cost of ownership through smarter energy decisions.

A strong advocate for “getting the fundamentals right”, Cain believes that in a rapidly evolving energy landscape, the quality of advice matters just as much as the technology itself. He is passionate about cutting through misinformation, challenging assumptions, and ensuring customers are equipped with the right knowledge to make informed, long-term decisions.

At this conference, Cain will share practical insights on:

The evolving role of battery technology in critical operations
Common pitfalls in system design and specification
Why informed, experience-backed advice is essential to avoiding risk and unlocking value
Known for his straight-talking, pragmatic approach, Cain brings both technical depth and commercial perspective—grounded in real field experience—to every conversation.
