Server Agirman has left energy management technology producer Schneider Electric’s corporate venturing unit to become director of new ventures at engine equipment manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America.
Agirman spent more than four years running Schneider Electric Business Incubation Program in Silicon Valley as a part of Schneider Electric Ventures along with the company’s Innovation at the Edge program.
As part of the incubator, Agirman co-founded eIQ-Mobility, a US-based startup backed by Schneider Electric that is working on technology that could enable and accelerate electric mobility at scale.
Schneider Electric has been positioning SE Ventures as its new corporate venturing unit, having also been a co-founder of multi-corporate venture capital firm Aster Capital, and is pumping up to $565m into the vehicle.
Grant Allen and Varun Jain – both previously recognised by GCV – were hired by SE Ventures last month.
