-- As the buzz around the shared economy fades and rationality returns, the true driving force behind industry value is no longer rapid replication or opportunistic monetization—but those seriously envisioning the next generation of sharing models.
In Malaysia, a company called QELNIX is quietly but determinedly laying the groundwork for Southeast Asia’s next-generation shared charging network.
At the heart of the company are two co-founders with contrasting styles but shared ideals—CEO Steve Jensen and CMO Patrick Tomlinson.
CEO: From Engineer to Shared Economy Advocate
Steve Jensen is far from a stereotypical serial entrepreneur. A trained electronic engineer, he built over 15 years of experience in multinational tech companies, focusing on enterprise energy systems and connected device infrastructures. He’s known for his structured, methodical approach.
But a small moment at an airport—a dead phone and a failed charging kiosk—sparked a big idea:
“Are we using the dumbest method to solve the most basic human need?”
After a year of research and simulation, Steve founded QELNIX, with a vision to build an energy-sharing platform that is convenient, efficient, inclusive, and profitable. His mission: combine the fairness of sharing with the efficiency of technology to create a win-win-win model for users, merchants, and cities alike.
CMO Patrick Tomlinson: Bringing Emotion and Trust Into the Brand
Patrick Tomlinson represents the opposite end of the spectrum. A leader in the fast-paced world of digital branding, she has 12 years of hands-on experience in FMCG and mobile platforms. She excels at using content, storytelling, and design to give brands soul.
They met at a shared economy forum in Southeast Asia. Steve had just finished speaking about revenue-sharing models and IoT algorithms. Watching backstage, Patrick’s first comment was:
“You’re not selling power banks. You’re connecting the energy nervous system of the city.”
That moment led Steve to invite her to join the team. She declined three times—until she tested the QELNIX prototype herself and interviewed early users.
“I realized this isn’t just a tech project. It’s a cause that anyone can participate in. And I wanted to help tell its story.”
As CMO, Patrick reshaped QELNIX’s brand voice and market strategy, and spearheaded programs like the Q+ Shared Tier System and Merchant Co-Growth Ecosystem, showing users and partners that QELNIX offers more than just convenience—it delivers real value.
More Than a Partnership—A Dialogue Between Two Eras
QELNIX today is the convergence of engineering and emotion, data and storytelling, transparency and trust.
● Steve ensures the platform is stable and fair.
● Patrick ensures the platform speaks to people’s hearts.
They both believe: The future of sharing isn’t winner-takes-all. It’s everyone-participates, everyone-prospers.
About QELNIX: Building a Shared Network Where Everyone Wins
QELNIX’s smart charging stations are now deployed across major cities in Malaysia, with planned expansion into Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. The company focuses on smart convenience, fast charging, and eco-friendly batteries, while enabling users to become revenue participants through the Q+ Shared Tier System.
QELNIX also welcomes merchant partnerships for co-deployment, creating a shared-value ecosystem.
As the team often says:
“This isn’t just our venture—it’s a citywide mission built by people who believe in it.”
The QELNIX story is just getting started.
