The solar system start-up gains new managers for the technology and product areas. The Berliners recruited one from eBay.

The photovoltaic start-up is expanding its management team. As the Berlin-based company announced, it now has a new Head of Technology and a new Head of Product. Torben Schwellnus will become Chief Technical Officer. He was responsible for engineering at the career network Xing for several years, most recently as Senior Vice President. After leaving Xing, he held similar positions at the start-ups NewStore and Cargonexx.

The new Head of Product Richard Forslund comes from the eBay Classifieds Group, which includes the German portal eBay Kleinanzeigen. He was also responsible for the product area at the Classifieds Group.

"With Torben and Richard, we have gained two very experienced and internationally accomplished tech experts for Zolar," explained Zolar CEO Alex Melzer in light of the personnel decisions. Melzer founded Zolar in 2016 together with Gregor Loukidis. The company sells and rents solar systems to homeowners. The company now has 330 employees across Germany.
