Reflections

In the fourth episode of Reflections we give the stage to two of our ambassadors. Who are they and what drives these entrepreneurs to support Lightyear’s mission of clean mobility for everyone, everywhere? Get to know Nick Matulessy and Cas van Arendonk as they tell us all about their vision in life, why making an impact is important in business and find out if they share other common purposes.

In the third episode of our podcast we dive into the concept behind Lightyear One and how this future product is engineered & designed. So what came first, the technical side or the design part? Through this podcast you get to know two Co-founders of Lightyear, namely Arjo van der Ham (Chief Technology Officer) and Koen van Ham (Chief Design Officer) and hear their story about: how to build a solar car? How do you develop & build a new vehicle that is set to cause a system change? Our guests reflect on their biggest challenges so far as they take us along their journey.

We (Auke & Noortje) give you insights on the driving force behind Lightyear: its people. In this episode, we will be talking with Maijke who has been with Lightyear since the beginning and has seen it grow exponentially, and talk about how she contributes to keeping everything organized & structured. Chris Vorster, one of Lightyear’s employees from South Africa, will join the discussion and tell us everything about his childhood dream of building a solar car and his personal journey towards Lightyear. Last but not least we are joined by Johan, who tells us about his motivation to take the leap from 'big' Tesla to the smaller scale-up Lightyear to make even more impact.

In our first episode, we welcome Lex Hoefsloot, CEO and one of the founders of Lightyear. We are starting at the beginning of the story of Lightyear: Why is Lightyear created? It is a real-life story that we are excited about. It is a strong commitment as well, that is integral to who we are, who we are becoming and forms the foundation for our mission, vision and brand promise.
