MUNICH, GERMANY | PUNE, INDIA | DETROIT, USA, 12 May 2026 — EcoG, a tech company providing the operating system for electric vehicle (EV) charging, is pleased to announce that Tomi Ristimäki (Ex CEO of Kempower) and Tanvi Chaturvedi (Ex CRO of EVgo) have joined the company as advisory board members. The addition of these two respected industry leaders scaling charging companies in Europe (Kempower) and North America (EVgo) marks a big step forward in EcoG’s journey to support the global transition to sustainable charging infrastructure. Together with the existing board members Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont (Extantia), Andreas Heubl (BayBG) and Florian Löbermann (GETFund) the board is now complete.

EcoG further scales and expands its business footprint for sustainable transportation globally with a focus on Europe, North America and India. Boosting innovations such as Powerblock and Dispenser reference designs, as well as entering the V2G market with several OEMs, EcoG further professionalizes its workflows in order to speed up building EV charging infrastructure. The guidance from the new advisors will ensure that EcoG remains a reliable partner for manufacturers navigating the complexities of the EV infrastructure market.

The new advisors bring a wealth of experience that complements EcoG’s technical foundations:

Tomi Ristimäki: Having served as the CEO of Kempower, Ristimäki brings a deep understanding of what it takes to build reliable charging solutions at scale. His background in significant scaling in EU, from 10-900 employees, including an IPO of a multi million dollar company will help EcoG in its growth journey enormously.

"Having observed the rapid global growth of charging infrastructure, I’ve seen that reliability remains a key hurdle. EcoG addresses this by standardizing the most complex aspects of charger design. Their operating system enables even new market entrants to achieve high operational reliability quickly and efficiently. I’m thrilled to support this innovative team in maturing the business and ensuring that 'Powered by EcoG' becomes a trusted sign of quality worldwide."

 

Tanvi Chaturvedi: With her background as the former Chief Revenue Officer of EVgo as well as Head of Growth at Google, Chaturvedi provides an invaluable perspective on EV charging and digital platform dynamics. Her insights will help EcoG refine its North American market approach as well as supporting a growing global user base.

“Having scaled EV charging infrastructure, I’ve seen how critical reliability and an intelligent software platform are to success. EcoG is building this foundation at scale, creating a category-defining opportunity to shape the future of EV charging globally.”

 

Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont (Extantia Capital): Provides a focus on deep decarbonization and sustainability, ensuring that EcoG’s growth remains aligned with long-term climate impact goals.

“We look for solutions that are faster, better, and cheaper, driving mass adoption of clean technology with compelling economics. When we met Joerg and Johannes from EcoG, we immediately recognised that they have built the core piece of this puzzle for mobility: an operating system that lays the foundation for the next generation of reliable, smart, and scalable EV infrastructure.”

 

Andreas Heubl (BayBG): Connects EcoG to a vast network of medium-sized industrial leaders, offering insights into the regional manufacturing strengths that are the backbone of European innovation.

"Within a few years, EcoG has become the leading operating system for DC charging stations, providing charging station manufacturers with a robust software technology solution. EcoG’s customer base, ecosystem, and growth underline its market relevance. I am therefore pleased to support EcoG as an Advisory Board member in its international expansion."

 

Florian Löbermann (GETFund): Contributes a wealth of experience in cleantech venture capital and chemistry, bridging the gap between scientific innovation and scalable business models.

“I joined EcoG’s Advisory Board on behalf of GET Fund, driven by our conviction that reliable, interoperable EV charging will be a defining factor for mass adoption—and that EcoG is building the software layer to make this happen at scale.”

 

Building a Sustainable Foundation

"We are incredibly grateful to have Tomi and Tanvi join us as industry experts," said Joerg Heuer, CEO of EcoG. "We recognize that scaling a business in this dynamic industry beside market driving technology and a passionate team we can move faster and more efficiently with the wisdom of those who have navigated these paths before. Their mentorship will be vital as we work to further optimize and scale our offerings and provide even more sustainable value to our customers."

By integrating the strategic insights of its new board, EcoG aims to strengthen its position as a reliable backbone for the electric vehicle charging industry, focusing on long-term stability and sustainable growth.
