Co-Founder and Co-CEO

Eigensonne GmbH

  • EIGENSONNE was among the top 5 companies that sold and built B2C rooftop solar systems across Germany, using its own installation teams and a proprietary, Salesforce-based software for designing, selling and servicing rooftop solar systems. It brought a seamless customer experience and additional energy products to its clients, far beyond what traditional installers can offer. It was as much an installation company as it was a TECH company. I co-founded EIGENSONNE with corporate investor EWE AG and two co-founders. In July 2023, my Co-CEO Michael Aigner and I exited the company to focus on new ventures. EIGENSONNE was subsequently sold and renamed as Amia Energy.
  • Founded the company, took the team from 1 to >450 employees, continuously re-organised to keep up with the demands of each phase in the company’s lifecycle
  • Designed and continuously adapted a strategic roadmap that in 2023 resulted in roughly €50m in revenues
  • Spearheaded investor relations and raised > €75m
