A Short Note from Your Future Lead

Hi there!

I'm Sébastien Schikora, and I've been driving tech innovation as CTO at Entrix since June 2022 and Flexa since February 2024. My career has been a mix of exciting challenges and opportunities, with a strong focus on transforming the energy industry and reshaping how electricity grids work and the best is yet to come.

Here's a quick snapshot of my journey so far:

• CTO at KONUX (2018-2022): Shaped the company's tech vision, built world-class products, and scaled technology to solve big problems.
• Senior Manager at Tesla (2015-2018): Led the charge in developing cutting-edge energy storage systems and seamless mobile experiences.
• VP of Product Development at NES Corporation (2014-2015): Helped launch a new company and product line, disrupting grid digitalization.
• Echelon Corporation: Spent six years driving innovation in grid modernization and smart metering, from product management to development leadership.
• Hewlett Packard: Before diving into energy, I spent over a decade refining enterprise software solutions.

Having spent most of my career in Silicon Valley, I bring a mindset that's all about pushing boundaries, moving fast, and creating meaningful impact. Now based in Munich, I apply that same energy to building teams and driving innovation here in Europe.

At Entrix and Flexa, we believe great tech starts with great people. Collaboration, creativity, and an unrelenting focus on delivering results are at the heart of everything we do.

If you're ready to work with a team that's reshaping industries and tackling some of the toughest challenges out there, I'd love for you to check out our opportunities. Join us, and let's build something extraordinary together.

Looking forward to seeing what we can create.

Best Regards,

Sebastien Schikora
