Founders' Stories: Claus von Hessberg, SkedGo / Scaling globally from Sydney
Event description
Connect with us virtually in our popular midday Speaker Series!
A few decades ago Claus von Hessberg earned his keep creating awe inspiring street art in Europe’s great cities. Now, he leads an international team creating MaaS solutions for governments and industries across the globe.
Claus von Hessberg is a serial entrepreneur with a global story to tell. Prior to SkedGo, Claus successfully founded, grew and sold B2B ventures in the events and media sector. He also moonlighted as an aerobatic flight pilot, scuba diver and global explorer with tales that would make ‘Indiana Jones’ blush. With a passport bursting at the seams it’s a little wonder that he’s now leading the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) field, tackling the idea that access to transport is access to life.
Tune in to hear about Claus grew his MaaS scaleup, SkedGo, from a home office in Sydney to operations now in Argentina, Vietnam, USA and Germany. How is SkedGo managing the decline in transportation use during COVID? Why has Claus always taken an entrepreneur’s route in life? And just what does soccer have to do with it all?
