My entrepreneurial story
From idea to 9 countries, and starting over
Twelve years of building, growing, losing, and rising again. The route in short.
The start
Founding Soly
Started from the conviction that clean energy had to be accessible to everyone.
Expansion
9markets
Scaling internationally
From one market to nine countries, each with its own team, pace and culture.
Growth
180employees
A company that no longer fits in your head
Leadership at scale: delegating, trusting, and learning to let go.
The limit
Burnout
The point where the way I was working was no longer sustainable.
The end
