Xipo Zhang, Managing Director at Axiom Edge Solutions
After 24 years with global energy giant SLB, Xipo Zhang has brought his global insight and technical expertise to Perth’s energy and mining sectors through his company, Axiom Edge Solutions. His experience in sales, operations, and management in countries including China, Japan, Korea,
Australia, and the UK, brings value to the Energy Club WA community.
Axiom Edge Solutions is focused on bridging top-tier high-quality manufacturing capabilities in China with the needs of Australia’s energy and mining sectors. Their services span equipment procurement,
AI-driven workflow optimisation, business consulting, and training. As Managing Director, Xipo leads strategic partnerships and technical oversight, helping clients achieve operational excellence.
Xipo holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering and has been recognised throughout his career with accolades such as SLB’s “President Club” and “Performance by Schlumberger” awards. One of his most memorable roles was managing global business operations
from SLB’s London headquarters, a position that allowed him to integrate strategy with real-time field operations across diverse regions.
Currently, Xipo is working on projects involving energy and mining equipment sourcing, which has helped Australian clients to reduce their cost by up to 1.2 million AUD per year with high quality equipment.
Xipo is also developing AI solutions for digital transformation to improve enterprise efficiency. His passion for innovation is matched by his admiration for visionaries like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk.
Outside of work, Xipo enjoys fishing, cycling, hiking, and tinkering with DIY tech projects like Arduino
and Raspberry Pi. Family is central to his life - he’s married with two sons, one a graduate of Imperial
College London and the other studying at UWA.
