Personal information and professional background
Info about yourself and how you came to e-mobility
I joined karting club when I was 8 years old and received my driving license at the age of 14 to participate in professional championships. Driving experience from childhood was an important part in my life. In 2013, while working in a company that is a recognized as the global leader in energy management, I experienced a fully electric car for the first time. Since then, I’m both a happy driver of already 4th BEV and have connected my career to e-mobility industry.

Inspiration
What inspired you to work in the e-mobility industry?
Having my degree in electrical engineering and a digital mindset, I’m an early adopter of new technologies. E-mobility is now changing the way things have been organized for more than a century – it’s creating an ambitious new industry perspective. From one side it’s a great user experience and builds new habits, and from the other side it’s decarbonizing transportation and decreasing emissions.

It’s a platform to share and discuss with other industry members our experiences, concerns, to test new solutions, and develop standards and implementation guides. Each of these contribute to the faster adoption of new technologies..
