'Meet the Team Series' Introducing Xavier Da Costa, our Head of Operations! Please tell us about yourself: Hello! I'm Xavier Da Costa, Head of Operations at Voltiris. With an MSc in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from EPFL, along with certifications in project management and Lean Six Sigma, I've had the opportunity to work in diverse fields from academic research to multinational corporations and startups. From Portuguese roots, born and raised in Switzerland, and having worked abroad, I was influenced by different cultures and languages that I had to master. This multicultural background helps me in my everyday life and stems from my passion for learning. I am driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to making a positive impact What are your first impressions? The team's collaborative spirit and forward-thinking mindset are truly inspiring. The impressive market response, coupled with insightful discussions with key industry leaders, has been incredibly motivating. Now, after more than a year with the team, I love the dynamic growth we’re experiencing. What motivates you about Voltiris? I'm deeply motivated by Voltiris' mission to provide our food systems with sustainable energy solutions but also to improve food production and quality. Two of the biggest challenges our generation will have to face. Contributing to a company that leverages technology to enhance sustainability and energy independence aligns perfectly with my personal and professional values. As a hands-on person, I enjoy transitioning from installation sites to pitch nights, and spending time in the office, embracing the diverse challenges and opportunities each day brings. All these opportunities have shaped me into quite the Swiss army knife—versatile and always ready for a new challenge!
Great startup company & team !!
