“It is a great pleasure to welcome Sandra to Qvantum’s board. She brings a unique combination of strategic sharpness and innovative power in clean-tech that further broadens the expertise of the board,” said Mats Leifland, Chairman of the Board of Qvantum.
Trittin commented: “I am impressed by Qvantum’s development and look forward to contributing with my experience from previous clean-tech start-ups. It was above all Qvantum’s strong vision for the energy solutions of the future that caught my interest, and I am really looking forward to being part of the next step in the growth journey.”
Qvantum’s board also includes Karin Jarl Månsson, former CEO of Sydvatten and senior executive at E.ON; Mats Rahmström, former CEO of Atlas Copco; and Per Colleen of TomEnterprise. Chairman Mats Leifland has long experience in the energy sector. Co-opted members include investors Thomas von Koch (TomEnterprise) and Willem Huiderkoper (IMAS Foundation).
