Alain Visser is the founder and ex-CEO of Lynk&Co. (CEO at the time of the recording.) He brings over 35 years of global automotive executive experience which we dive into, going from mobility, design and launching a new brand in a more traditional environment.
There were a few minor connection issues hence it might seem I was talking over Alain a couple of times.
