Benoit Lemaignan

Co-Founder and President

"Verkor is a unique human and industrial endeavour to tackle the current and future challenges of reshoring the value chains of tomorrow’s industry. We have embarked on a forward-looking journey that gives us the opportunity and the privilege to have a lasting impact on both our economy and our environment."

co-founder

Christophe Mille

Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer

"After 12 years abroad working for some of the most advanced hi-tech companies, I’m keen to draw on my environmental and societal awareness, and put my expertise and industrial background in batteries to work for the energy transition in Europe, and especially in France."

co-founder

Sylvain Paineau

Co-Founder and Chief Strategy & Partnerships Officer

"Verkor is the confluence of everything that has kept me working in the industry and striving to innovate for the last 25 years: an entrepreneurial initiative and a major industrial priority to keep France competitive and drive the ecological transition."

co-founder

Philippe Chain

Co-Founder & Chief Customer Officer

"For 30 years I’ve been involved in promoting and developing electric vehicles. To me, Verkor’s creation is the logical outcome of a commitment to decarbonising mobility."

co-founder

Gilles Moreau

Co-Founder & Chief Sustainability Officer

"I’ve been obsessed with stationary energy storage for more than 20 years and, for me, Verkor is my chance to have a real impact. This is a key issue for renewable energy and the energy transition."

co-founder

Olivier Dufour

Co-Founder & Stakeholder Engagement

"Verkor is a terrific adventure: building a French industrial champion that’s deeply committed to the 21st century’s societal challenges of digitalisation, sustainability and humanity. Verkor is forging ahead by combining competitiveness and friendly interaction. The thing I'm most proud of is our team!"

management team

Anna Teyssot

Chief Marketing Officer

"Verkor is an incredible place to work. We’re looking for self-starters who are passionate about batteries, who have exceptional talent, and who are eager to grow in a start-up environment and who understand the demands and the needs of our global corporate clients. Join us and make a difference!"

management team

Sam Kim

Head Officer, Process Engineering

"In the course of my career in the industrial landscape, I’ve learned that building a good factory isn’t just about spending money. Verkor is the perfect example of wanting to build a good business, which is more than just wanting to build a big factory."

management team

Charline Baechele

Chief Financial Officer

"Verkor was a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor at a company that’s working for the energy transition and the re-industrialisation of Europe. Two things that mean a lot to me. Every day, I feel like I'm working toward our common future, alongside experts from all over the world. It’s a challenge and a chance to make a difference. It’s a modern-day adventure."
