Paebbl has recruited a veteran of Tesla and Novo Energy – the Northvolt-Volvo battery venture that halted operations earlier this year – to lead the build-out of its first commercial plant.
Paebbl, a Nordic-Dutch startup developing CO2-storing building materials, has appointed Fernando Sosa as "FOAK CEO" to lead the build-out of its first demonstration plant.
Sosa's most recent role was at Novo Energy, the Northvolt-Volvo battery joint venture that paused operations and laid off all 75 employees at its Gothenburg factory in January after Northvolt's bankruptcy left it without a technology partner. Before the shutdown, Sosa oversaw construction of Novo's first-of-a-find (FOAK) facility.
