Nico Decurtins, Marketing Manager Central Europe, Tesla Motors

Nico will elaborate on the rise of Tesla from its late start-up days to becoming a news dominating company with international appeal. Nico lived through various milestones of this iconic brand, including the opening of the first Tesla store in Switzerland, the introduction of Model S, Model X and Tesla’s very own Supercharger network. He and his team are now starting to gear up for the launch of the new Model 3. Nico will provide his unique insights into Tesla’s culture, discuss the challenges for the company going forward and reflect on his personal story of growing professionally within a global start-up.

Nico joined Tesla in 2010 as one of the first employees in Europe and has since worked in different capacities in Zurich, London, Amsterdam and now again in Zurich.
