-- John Warner, Chief Industry Relations Officer of American Battery Solutions, was recognized at the CXO 2.0 Conference with the “Business Leadership Excellence Award.” The three-day business leadership event, held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, brought together global executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to explore innovation, sustainability, and next-generation leadership in business.
Author, Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Strategist, John has spent more than 35 years at the intersection of battery science and market leadership. From launching electric vehicle programs at General Motors to building a career across five battery technology start-ups — including American Battery Solutions, which was acquired by Komatsu in 2023 — John has built a reputation for translating deep technical expertise into commercial outcomes. He currently leads industry relations at ABS, chairs Battery Show North America, and is widely recognized as one of the most influential voices in commercial EV electrification.
John's recognition highlights his ongoing contributions to battery innovation and his role in driving progress within the electric vehicle industry. His work reflects a deep commitment to advancing technology, shaping markets, and building sustainable energy solutions for commercial and industrial applications.
Upon accepting the award, he expressed, “I'm deeply honored to receive this recognition, though I'd be the first to say that awards like this are really a reflection of the teams, partners, and industry colleagues who make the work possible. We're at an inflection point in commercial electrification — the decisions being made today about battery chemistry, charging infrastructure, and supply chain resilience will define the next decade of transportation. My goal has always been to help accelerate that progress by connecting technical insight with market strategy, and I'm grateful that work is resonating.”
John’s achievement highlights his ongoing contributions to battery innovation and his role in driving progress within the electric vehicle industry. His work reflects a strong focus on advancing technology, shaping markets, and supporting sustainable energy solutions.
