About Ivo van Dam
Strategic technical leader with a passion for sustainable progress
With more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of technology, energy and mobility, I help organizations turn complex projects and strategic challenges into sustainable results. I work at the interface of technology, business strategy and execution, and do so with a keen eye for feasibility, impact and collaboration.
My career started in engineering, but quickly grew into leadership and strategic roles. As CTO within PowerField and later as CEO of PowerGo, a fast-growing Charge Point Operator (CPO) operating in multiple European countries, I built teams, implemented projects and provided direction for innovation and growth.
What drives me is accelerating the energy transition by combining smart technical choices with clear leadership. Whether it is a grid congestion issue, an international rollout of charging infrastructure, or the temporary filling of a management role: I bring structure, overview and progress.
