General Members of LF Energy have elected two new governing board members. The LF Energy governing board oversees business decision-making for the foundation, including building alliances, growing membership, and allocating the budget to the highest benefit of LF Energy projects. The board consists of one representative from each Strategic Member of the foundation, as well as one representative per ten General Members, which are elected annually by the General Members.
The entire LF Energy community thanks all the candidates who ran for election this term, and extends our congratulations to our two new board members.
The two new General Member representatives on the governing board are:
Dr. Marco Möller, CEO and Co-Founder, Pionix
Marco is co-founder and Managing Director of Pionix and has been at the forefront of open source software for EV charging and emobility. He also chairs the LF Energy EVerest TSC and represents the industry as a board member at the Open Charge Alliance.
With Pionix, he was the initiator of the growing EVerest community of companies, agencies, utilities, universities, and governments worldwide to collectively create and support the digital foundations of EV charging infrastructure of the future, in particular having a common base layer for the firmware of all future EV chargers.
Before he started Pionix, Marco co-founded drone startup MAVinci which was successfully sold to Intel. Since then Marco has also been active as a (founding) angel ínvestor in the startup ecosystem.
