www.electrochaea.com: Electrochaea GmbH is a spin-off from the University of Chicago whose technology or equipment can be used to convert electricity into natural gas using bacteria. After acquiring considerable funding in 2011, a research facility was initially built near Copenhagen before German investors founded a limited liability company at the lead investor’s headquarters in Munich in 2014. Over four years, as interim CFO, I accompanied the company build-up virtually from scratch, primarily establishing and operationally filling out structures and processes in the finance area and acting as an interface to authorities, banks, insurance companies, tax advisors, lawyers, etc. Electrochaea is involved in numerous international research projects with about 30 employees and continues to drive the technological market launch, recently also in the North American market.
