introducing a new way of moving with georgia yexley | conversations in cleantech | episode five

in this episode of conversations in cleantech, we’re joined by georgia yexley, head of cities uki at tier.

 

If you’re not familiar with tier mobility, there’s a chance you soon will be. as one of the world’s fastest growing micro mobility companies, they’re arriving in new cities on an almost weekly basis!

 

as someone who has been on the bleeding edge of micro mobility from day one, this instalment sees georgia share her career journey within micro mobility over the last 6 years.

 

georgia reflects what it’s been like experiencing hypergrowth at multiple micro mobility start ups, the challenges faced, problems solved and lessons learned in a sector that is still relatively young, as well as the social and community importance of what businesses like tier are trying to achieve.

 

as georgia circles back to - “because we're talking big scale, huge numbers, unicorns, and tech and all sorts and we can be forgotten that it's actually about helping people to move”.

 

hosted by jenny gladman, director at brightsmith group, this fifth episode of conversations in cleantech is an engaging insight into micromobility with learnings on scaling, community and working with your competitors that are applicable across the cleantech industry.
