EA Technology, a leading provider of technology solutions supporting the energy transition, has announced the appointment of Gareth Burton as Chief Executive Officer, effective from 9th February 2026.
Gareth joins EA Technology at a pivotal point in its growth journey, as the company expands its hardware and software capabilities, strengthens its international market presence, and continues to deliver greater value for customers.
Amanda Mesler, Chair of EA Technology, said:
“Gareth’s appointment represents an exciting step forward for EA Technology. He brings a rare combination of deep software expertise, international leadership experience and a strong track record of scaling businesses while creating real customer value. As EA Technology enters its next phase of growth, Gareth is exceptionally well placed to lead the organisation and build on the strong foundations already in place.”
Gareth brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience across enterprise software, and financial and global technology services. Most recently, he served as CEO of Orbus Software, a global enterprise architecture software business. During his three-and-a-half-year tenure, Gareth led a team of approximately 300 employees across the UK, Australia, the US and the Middle East, more than doubling revenue and returning the business to profitability. In 2025, Orbus was recapitalised through a partnership between private equity firms FTV Capital and SilverTree.
Gisle Glück, Partner at Summa Equity, EA Technology’s major shareholder, added:
“EA Technology plays an important role in enabling the energy transition through its impact and expertise. Gareth’s experience in building profitable, international technology-led businesses aligns strongly with EA Technology’s long-term ambitions. We are confident that his leadership will support sustainable growth while continuing to deliver positive impact for customers, employees and society.”
Prior to Orbus, Gareth was CEO of Thinkproject, a European construction technology software company. After relocating to Munich, he led a significant business transformation, delivering sustained revenue growth and executing an active M&A strategy, culminating in the company’s successful sale to EQT in 2020.
Commenting on his appointment, Gareth Burton said:
“EA Technology has a strong purpose, a highly skilled team and a clear opportunity to scale and deliver global impact through our market leading technology solutions. I’m excited to be joining the business at such an important moment and look forward to working with the team to grow EA Technology’s capabilities, expand internationally and continue delivering meaningful outcomes for our customers.”
