Juraj Ulehla, Voltia Episode 54
b'After last week\\u2019s episode we return to the ground but stay with eMobility. Last mile deliveries have never been more needed, as we\\u2019re currently so reliant on home deliveries. It\\u2019s also fair to say cities, mayors and citizens are quite liking the clean air and lack of both air and noise pollution, I can only expect the successes of Voltia and others in this space will continue. That said, when I first spoke to Juraj some time ago, it was his entrepreneurial story that stood, out. We discuss both in this episode.About Juraj UlehlaJuraj Ulehla, a former investment banker who specialized in risk management when working for international banks, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Voltia.
