Monta

Monta

Copenhagen, Denmark

A software platform to manage and scale EV charging infrastructure for businesses, cities, and operators. It covers charge point management, payments, roaming, and energy management.

Product Manager

I was rehired to build "Product Led Support" to stop tickets from out-scaling our agents, but when big enterprise clients landed we pivoted to maintaining the exports and notification service (push, sms, email). Then came the chance to lead a Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) project with a large Danish utility.

After a year we hit a wall. We were "shipping our org chart": three squads (Grid, Load Management, HEMS) all trying to control the same EV charge session. I managed to merge them into one End-to-End Energy Management squad with one strategy.

  • Scaled HEMS: 0 to 3,000+ connected homes supporting Solar inverters, Smart Meter readers (MQTT, HTTP) and CT-Clamps via OCPP.
  • Grid Services: Took ownership, expanded beyond FCR-D (DK, SE, UK) to include aFRR (DK), overhauled the UX to make complex flexibility markets accessible.
  • Monta Control: Rebranded an internal utility ("CPI tool") into a customer-facing product that became Monta's AI playground.

I've always been the "Tools Guy", so I ended up helping colleagues use AI to automate the boring parts of the job.

  • Enablement: Cross-department sessions and 1:1s so colleagues could build their own automations.
  • Zapier Workflows: Scanned sales and CS transcripts so I could stay on top of real customer problems and jump in when something spiked (one of my fav automations).
  • Automation & AI Squad: Joined the squad to push these topics across the company, hosted a hackathon.
  • First MCP Server: Built Monta's first MCP server to control the CPMS via prompts, hooked up to internal systems to automate QA and generate customized customer demos on demand.

I learned a shit ton 😞

Product Owner

part-time

My first time at Monta, working part-time alongside my full-time Master's. I focused on the B2B side (the legacy Portal), got my crash course in the EV industry and figured out what on earth a CPMS actually is.

I got my hands dirty early, coding fully functional internal tools that eventually got productized. Way before the "vibe coding" era, so I had to write the code myself, including a beautiful daylight time shift (or however you call this) bug that took me forever to debug 😊.

Full transparency: I extended the end date so LinkedIn groups it nicely with my return in 2023. In reality this ran Aug 2022 to Feb 2023, then I took a semester abroad in California.
