Background

About Arnaud Mora

Over the past 20 years, I set up Mora Associates, a consultancy firm on energy transition and I created and sold Freshmile, a leading electric vehicle charging service company. After learning the ropes of business in banking at Société Générale, I set up my own consultancy firm, Mora Associates, first in London, then in Strasbourg. Mora Associates started in 2006 with a focus on energy transition, advising companies and investors in cleantech and renewable energy: wind power, photovoltaic, geothermal. In 2010, I started Freshmile as an innovative company for electric mobility and load aggregation, envisioning electric cars as a distributed storage capacity for the electrical grid. In 2016, our Series A financing round opened Freshmile's capital to Caisse des Dépôts, France's largest institutional investor. The company quickly became a leading charging point operator in France, commanding 20% market share on publicly accessible charging stations and employing 80 people. In 2021, I sold Freshmile to Rexel, a leading electrical equipment wholesaler. I left the company in 2023 after a period of handover in order to start new projects. Today, my areas of interest encompass topics beyond cleantech and transportation, but always focused on sustainability: energy transition, medtech and artificial intelligence are cornerstones for our future.
