Most energy products don’t fail on technology. They fail between product, channel, and execution.

That’s where I operate. I lead go-to-market, commercial enablement and field operating models for B2B2C energy systems — solar, storage, C&I BESS, EV charging and HEMS — across fragmented, regulated European markets. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve launched and scaled connected energy platforms across Europe and the US within OEM environments including SMA, Maxeon and TCL SunPower. My work spans: strategy, pricing, installer experience, pre-sales scope, aftersales structure, field stabilization and EU–China product interfaces. What I focus on structurally: • aligning incentives between product, sales and channel • designing rollout models that survive real distribution • identifying GTM risk before it surfaces in the field • building feedback loops that turn field friction into roadmap clarity I build commercial systems that hold under pressure — tight budgets, shifting regulation, immature org structures and real installer constraints. I bias for clarity, speed and launch reality over theoretical elegance. Core focus areas: • B2B2C GTM & commercial architecture (EU ↔ HQ interfaces) • Installer-centric rollout & enablement design • Aftersales & pre-sales integration into GTM • C&I storage category introduction • HEMS, dynamic tariffs, §14a EnWG • Bundling logic across PV, storage, EV and digital services • Product feedback loops, ownership & version governance • Executive and partner alignment Connect if you’re: • scaling complex energy portfolios across EU markets • introducing new storage or HEMS categories • or rebuilding the link between strategy and field execution
