Halliburton Labs, where entrepreneurs, academics, investors and experienced practitioners advance the future of energy, has brought a new face to its advisory board.
The company said in a statement that Pulakesh Mukherjee, a partner at Imperative Ventures, brings extensive experience in energy systems, innovation and venture capital to support Halliburton Labs’ collaborative environment.
“We are pleased to welcome Pulakesh as we help emerging companies achieve scale and growth”, said Dale Winger, managing director of Halliburton Labs. “Pulakesh brings strong expertise and an expansive network throughout the early-stage energy and climate tech ecosystem. We look forward to his guidance to catalyze increased collaboration among innovators, investors, and industry”.
Before he co-founded Imperative Ventures, Mukherjee worked at BASF Venture Capital to source and execute investments in the energy, agriculture, chemical, and industrial sectors. During that time, he served as a director or observer on the boards of early-stage technology companies, Halliburton Labs said.
Halliburton Labs said Mukherjee joins Jeff Miller, Reggie DesRoches, John Grotzinger, Jennifer Holmgren, Maynard Holt, Walter Isaacson, and Dale Winger on the advisory board.
At the end of 2023 Halliburton Labs brought in Airovation Technologies, Ayrton Energy, Cache Energy, CENS, Disa Technologies, Marel Power Solutions, and XtraLit. The addition of these new participants is part of Halliburton Labs' ambition to advance energy and climate innovation and help early-stage companies by contributing expertise, connections, facilities, and more to achieve strategic scaling milestones, it said.
Meanwhile, in separate statements, Halliburton Labs participating companies OCOChem, Ionada, and Disa Technologies each said they closed equity funding in the fourth quarter. This marked the most active funding quarter for participants in Halliburton Labs since inception, it said.
