This week, Paul and John are joined by Andreas Blin, Director Segments and Partnerships - CPOs, Fuel&Convenience and Solution Partners at ChargePoint, and self-proclaimed enabler of the electric mobility revolution.
Andreas takes us on a journey from his early career in plastics and cheese-making machinery (yes, really!) to becoming a passionate leader in the EV charging industry. He shares how he found purpose in electrifying transport, his philosophy of understanding the “core” of complex problems, and why he believes caring about customers is the ultimate superpower in business.
Highlights include:
- 🎸 Andreas’ creative side, from restoring a vintage Fender Stratocaster to handcrafting “Chargie” awards in his basement
- 🌲 Life lessons from managing a family forest and silently exploring nature on an electric quad
- ⚡ The critical role of back-end software for Charge Point Operators and why getting it right can make or break a business
- 💡His one magic wish for the EV world: that everyone approach their next car purchase with an open mind
