Managing Director of Northern Europe, Paulina Ackermann comments on the signing
of Gjeraker and Wachtmeister:
- I'm very proud to announce that we have been able to sign two excellent
executives to head our Scandinavian markets. Silje and Vida are experienced
managers with demonstrated ability to build high performing teams. They also
have unique operational expertise from online marketplaces for physical
services. This type of profile is exactly what we are looking for in our
leaders. I look forward to working closely with Silje and Vida in the second
half of this year to further accelerate Otovo's already strong Scandinavian
markets.
Otovo's CEO, Andreas Thorsheim remarks:
- Getting Vida and Silje on board is great, and I'm very happy that Otovo's
ability to attract top talent is proven yet again. Together with Paulina, Vida
and Silje will comprise an exceptional team for Scandinavia that will be great
custodians and developers of the exceptional position Otovo has in Scandinavia.

Wolt, one of the world's leading commerce platforms. Silje has been Head of
Operations and Head of Customer & Partner Experience for the last 3 years. In
this period, Wolt Norway has grown significantly becoming the leading commerce
platform in Norway. Prior to Wolt, Silje has more than 12 years of experience
across various companies within the Finance, Telecom and Restaurant sector,
mostly in a fast growth/scale up environment and in companies with a strong
competitive landscape.
- I couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to begin working with such an
amazing company. I've been following Otovo from the start, and been impressed at
how early they saw the potential from solar and residential energy for
consumers. Solar power is changing the energy sector, and I believe that this is
essential for our generation to take on the omnipresent task of leading the
energy transition. I'm really looking forward to leading Otovo in Norway,
delivering solar panels and batteries to homes. Great times ahead!, Gjeraker
remarks.

previously from Free Now/myTaxi and Samsung Nordic's Telecom business.
- I'm excited to become a part of Otovo's strong team with the clear mission of
installing solar panels and batteries in every home in Europe. It will be
fulfilling to use my previous experiences, in fast growing start-up/scale-up
businesses and from driving growth within competitive marketplaces, to support
and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. I'm impressed by how the
Otovo marketplace makes it easier and more affordable to go solar. I'm very much
looking forward to leading Otovo in Sweden, Wachtmeister remarks.
Gjeraker and Wachtmeister will report to Paulina Ackermann as Managing Director
of Northern Europe. They will join Otovo on September 1st and will work out of
