Set R&D timelines and track progress to make sure the team stays on schedule and delivers on time. Manage day-to-day team resources, equipment schedules, and R&D budgets to keep things running smoothly and costs under control.

As a co-founder, I spend a lot of time traveling for business, mainly to France, the UK, and other parts of Europe. My main focus is identifying potential clients, building strategic partnerships, and exploring new opportunities to grow our business. We have our own R&D team, and I’m always interested in exploring opportunities across different industries. I also enjoy connecting with talented people from different fields, learning from their experiences, and exchanging ideas.

I decided to step away from a job I loved because I felt there was still so much for me to learn and explore. I traveled to places like France, the UK, and other parts of Europe to deepen my understanding of the energy industry and broaden my perspective. The experience gave me valuable insights, new ideas, and a whole new way of looking at things.
