Damien Declercq

Background in mechanical and production engineering, and a master in management. I have worked in the battery industry, the automotive after market in Europe, and in various sales and marketing positions. I worked on a new business to put enthusiastic eco-friendly cars on the European roads through the use of co-creation and partnership with OEMs and then joined an American automotive startup to lead the Business Development of the company, developing the outsourced innovation business line as well as strategic partnerships. I then lead the setup and growth of that company microfactories network and vehicles portfolio for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, introducing a self-driving shuttle system to market.

This experience and the associated learnings, is the basis on which I am setting up Spring Mobility GmbH, a Berlin based company setup in 2017 to provide autonomous rides services.
