Meet the team

The company was founded in Finland in 2014 by five experienced entrepreneurs who combined to form a strong team with expertise in technology, innovation development and IPR. In 2018, Mr. Timo Akselin, who has extensive experience in technologies and growing successful businesses, joined the team as Chairman and lead investor. The company is managed by its long-time CEO and Co-founder Jani Rytkönen (M.Sc. Econ.). Our core team combines decades of experience in inventions, innovation development, IPR, R&D and global sales. In 2025, the team welcomed Antero Palo as Vice President of Business Development, leveraging over 20 years of industry experience from Salcomp and Ten Pao Int. Together, we are committed to transforming charging technology for a sustainable future.
