Verne

We’re. So. Excited. The Verne team is nominated for the 2024 Car Design News People Awards! While creating safer, more efficient, sustainable, and enjoyable journeys is more important to us than awards, it still feels fantastic to be recognized by the industry. And in four categories, no less: ▪️ Best UX Design Team ▪️ Most Supportive Design Leader ▪️ Best Lighting Design Team ▪️ Best Studio Engineering Team The awards ceremony is on December 5th in London. Win or lose, cheers to every team member for their dedication and creativity. 🐈

It’s been five years since the founders of Verne Mate Rimac, Marko Pejković, and Adriano Mudri turned “What if” into “Let’s make it happen”. Today, we’re adding another “Let’s” and that’s “Let’s celebrate” because it’s our 5th birthday! Here’s to everyone who's been part of this journey so far. We’ve come a long way, and there’s so much more to come. 🐈

Meet our new CEO Darren Gwynne. Marko Pejković, Verne's co-founder and former CEO, continues as a member of the Management Board and Chief Business Officer (CBO). Pejković will focus on further growth and development of the business and the global positioning of the company. "We believe that Darren's experience in setting up serial production of motor vehicles is crucial in the development of our company at this stage. We continue to strengthen our organisation in accordance with project development, taking into account that the scale of our efforts will only increase, and our most demanding challenges are ahead of us,“ Marko said. Darren has been with Verne since 2020 and brings over 30 years of experience. His strong expertise will guide us into the next phase of our project development.  "I would like to thank the Co-Founders Mate Rimac, Adriano Mudri, and Marko Pejković for allowing me this opportunity. I am extremely humbled and proud to be part of a team that is developing such a unique project on a global scale. My priority is to continue leading the team through the achievement of our business objectives and provide customers with a safe, effortless, and personalised urban mobility experience," Darren said. These changes in organisation ensure Verne is ready for the next chapter of our journey toward reshaping urban mobility. See the full story: https://lnkd.in/dNqdqDGB
