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 beefing up its management team. The Berlin-based company announced that it now has both a new chief technology officer and a new chief product officer. Chief Technical Officer will be Torben Schwellnus. He spent several years at career network Xing in charge of engineering, most recently as senior vice president. After leaving there, 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. At Classifieds Group he was also responsible for the product area.

"With Torben and Richard, we have gained two very experienced and internationally versed tech experts for Zolar," explained Zolar CEO Alex Melzer in light of the personnel decisions. Melzer had 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.
