I'm Sebastien Schikora, serving as the CTO at Flexa since the beginning. My diverse career journey has provided me with a range of experiences with a deep dive in the energy industry and the functioning of the grid specifically. In the last years, I was: CTO at KONUX from September 2018 to April 2022, where I played a pivotal role in shaping the company's tech landscape and products. Sr. Manager at Tesla from November 2015 to July 2018, leading the development of energy storage systems and mobile apps. Vice President of Product Development at Networked Energy Services (NES) Corporation from October 2014 to November 2015, launching a new company and product line in the grid digitalization space. At Echelon Corporation, I held various roles over six years, including Director of Product Management and Development in the Grid Modernization Division. Before my endeavors in the Energy Industry I was working for Hewlett Packard in the Enterprise Software group for a little over 10 years. I'm all about pushing the boundaries of technology and driving progress in our industry. I spent the majority of my career in the Silicon Valley in California and apply a lot of the methods and drive to my workplace here in Munich. Our team is the basis of our success, and I'm dedicated to fostering a collaborative, innovative and goal driven work environment. If you're ready to be a part of our international crew and share our vision for groundbreaking tech solutions, I encourage you to explore opportunities within our organization.
