Julius Herter - Lead Trading & Energy Operations -LinkedIn profile link

Hi there

I joined Entrix in June 2022 as a Founders Associate and ended up working across almost everything fundraising finance ops marketing and now market operations.

What Ive learned: energy trading only works if ops finance and tech work seamlessly together. Thats exactly where this role sits.

What you can expect from me:maximum ownership and zero hand-holding(in a good way). If somethings broken we fix it. If something can be automated we automate it. If scaling needs structure we build it.

Outside of work Im usually in the mountains (hiking climbing skiing) trying new food spots in Munich or deep in some DIY project.

If you want to help build a market ops setup that actually scales across Europe Id love to talk.

Cheers Julius
