Georg served as Director for Western Europe at Tesla Motors, where he led an outstanding team of passionate people focussed on customers, growth, and the company's mission to accelerate the world's movement to sustainable energy. He joined Tesla when the UK had just one store, no service capacity and few people had heard of Tesla. Since 2016 Georg also led the business in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg (thus comprising 'Western Europe' with the UK & Ireland). Collectively his teams comprised c. 330 people across 37 locations. Being passionate about diversity, a particularly proud moment was to publish Gender Pay Gap data for Tesla UK in April 2018 (http://bit.ly/2HV4tlJ) showing both median and mean base pay as higher for women, a sign of how seriously Georg and his leadership team approached the subject of diversity over a consistent period. In 2016, he was listed in the Debrett's 500, "People of Influence" for his work at Tesla. http://bit.ly/1PDBBHU
