Juuri näin! Itse olen ainakin erittäin tyytyväinen hallituksen molempiin viime aikaisiin päätöksiin. Niin Amerikan johtajan kuin uuden toimarinkin valinnassa. Eiköhän Bhasker pääse sekoittamaan pakkaa jos näkee tarpeelliseksi.
Itse hallitukseen on ainakin otettu osaamista ensin Barbara Thierart-Perrin (Hallituksen jäsen, 2024-) toimesta:
Veolia, Group Chief Innovation and Development (2025 –)
President, Northvolt Systems, Northvolt AB, Sweden (2023 – 2025)
Vice President, Northvolt Systems, Northvolt AB, Sweden (2021 – 2023)
Vice President Planning & Programs Africa, Middle-East, India region, Nissan Motor Corporation, Japan (2018 – 2021)
Accessories and merchandising Program Director & head of BU, Renault SAS (2015 – 2018)
Strategy and corporate Planning, Renault SAS (2014 – 2015)
Ja tänään uudeksi hallituksen jäseneksi valittiin Michael Hajesch jolla oli kokemusta Ionityn toimarina toimisesta, sekä Bemarilta erinäisistä sähköistymisen projekteista:
