Bio:


Enric is a passionate, results-driven leader who brings more than
a decade of experience working in the energy industry to his role
as CoFounder and CEO at Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a global leader of
electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions
worldwide. 


 


Enric co-founded Wallbox with Eduard Castaneda in 2015 after
realizing there was a huge and crucial gap in the market, home
charging. Prior to founding Wallbox, Enric was the Program
Manager for Charging Installations at TESLA Motors in Europe
(Amsterdam). His main responsibility was ensuring that customers
always had the best charging solution to charge at home and at
the workplace.


 


Enric has built Wallbox’s global brand, business and team from
the ground up. In 2015, Enric and Eduard designed their first
charger, Commander, which would be the first of many
state-of-the-art innovations that would propel the company’s
overall growth in the EV charging and energy management space.
These sleeker, smarter and simpler charging and energy management
solutions have become increasingly relevant at a time when
consumers, enterprises and governments are realizing that the new
reality for mobility is electric.   





Under Enric’s leadership, Wallbox has achieved many operational
and product milestones. In 2021, the company became the first
Spanish tech company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Wallbox has grown to over 1,250 employees in Europe, APAC and the
Americas and has products available in over 113 countries. Enric
has been instrumental in forging key partnerships that have made
a huge impact on the company’s growth including Nissan, Uber,
Fisker, Polaris, Best Buy, NAPA Auto Parts, Iberdrola, SunPower
and more. The company opened its first North American
manufacturing facility in Texas in late 2022.


 


Wallbox has accomplished so much under Enric’s leadership and has
grown from a home EV charging company into a global leader in EV
charging that develops state of the art technology for home,
business and public charging as well as the energy management
solutions that allow users to live more sustainably. Wallbox
debuted Quasar 2 at CES 2022, the second generation of the
world’s first bidirectional charger for the home. This capstone
achievement resulted in “Best of CES” in major news outlets.
Wallbox’s future global growth will continue to be driven through
product innovation in both hardware and software. The company
also recently announced Supernova 180, its DC hyper-fast-charger
that will begin shipping in Q4 of this year.   





Enric has done an outstanding job maintaining a culture based on
commitment, excellence, innovation, passion and self-demand. He
has made sustainability a global priority and showed Wallbox’s
commitment by announcing its goal to achieve Net Zero greenhouse
gas emissions across its global footprint by 2030.
