Desai has three decades of customer-focused leadership experience having built and scaled multiple global businesses across the solar energy and technology sectors. Prior to joining Infinitum, he served as CCO of Maxeon Solar Technologies where he oversaw the company’s commercialization strategy.

Infinitum founder & CEO, Ben Schuler, said Vikas will further strengthen the company’s customer centric culture, commercial partnerships and market leadership.
“His ability to build strong relationships and track record of scaling companies that prioritise customer needs and value will be a tremendous asset going forward,” Schuler said.
“Vikas’s appointment comes at a time of rapid growth among our customer base and his addition will further fuel our next phase of expansion.”
Commenting on his appointment, Desai said Infinitum’s motor technology is transformational and the opportunity to grow the company and make a positive impact is massive.
