Overview
Work Experience
Founder, chairman & CEO
2019 - Current
I founded Koolen Industries with the goal of accelerating the energy transition. Our mission is to make renewable energy accessible to everyone. That is why I have personally invested in now over 25 clean tech companies. We also realize integrated energy projects ourselves with a combination of our group companies with our one-stop-shop concept.
