Timo Scholz

COO at Entrix

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

About

I run global operations of Entrix — a fast-growing European BESS company — covering portfolio management, asset onboarding, market & trading compliance, energy finance, and 24/7 live operations across five European markets. Before Entrix: Head of Strategy & BizOps at gridX (E.ON-backed home energy scale-up), Chief of Staff at KONUX, and four years at Siemens across rail IoT strategy, M&A, and management consulting. My work sits at the intersection of operational rigor and strategic execution — building the systems, teams, and processes that let energy companies scale without breaking. Currently focused on Entrix’s European expansion and the operational infrastructure behind it.
