Skills to Set You Apart
Sébastien Schikora - Chief Technology Officer
Hi there!
I’m Sébastien Schikora, and I’ve been driving tech innovation as CTO at Entrix since June 2022 and Flexa since February 2024. My career has been a mix of exciting challenges and opportunities, with a strong focus on transforming the energy industry and reshaping how electricity grids work and the best is yet to come.
Here’s a quick snapshot of my journey so far:
Having spent most of my career in Silicon Valley, I bring a mindset that’s all about pushing boundaries, moving fast, and creating meaningful impact. Now based in Munich, I apply that same energy to building teams and driving innovation here in Europe.
At Flexa and Entrix, we believe great tech starts with great people. Collaboration, creativity, and an unrelenting focus on delivering results are at the heart of everything we do.
If you’re ready to work with a team that’s reshaping industries and tackling some of the toughest challenges out there, I’d love for you to check out our opportunities. Join us, and let’s build something extraordinary together.
Looking forward to seeing what we can create.
Best Regards,
Sebastien Schikora
