Success Story - Truckzter Welcomes Camilla Wallin as New Chairperson.

Truckzter, an innovative platform for low-emission road transport, has experienced impressive growth since its establishment in 2021, with a 200% increase in turnover and a significant reduction in transport emissions by over a third this year alone. As part of its commitment to accelerating growth and enhancing its digital product development, Truckzter prioritized the recruitment of an independent Chair for its board. The goal was to bring in diverse and complementary expertise to challenge existing strategies and strengthen the company’s mission to revolutionize sustainable logistics.

Discussing the process, Per Arenö and Fredrik Regin of Truckzter highlight the importance of flexibility and trust in finding the right candidate. “A board without the ability to address challenges from new perspectives will not contribute much” they note. Being introduced to deb. through their incubator Inkubera, they saw an opportunity to reach out to more and better potential candidates in their recruitment process. Camilla Wallin was one of them, a deb. program alumni. 

Together with Camilla, the team is now ready to tackle the challenges ahead, ensuring smarter, more resource-efficient transport solutions for a sustainable future.

We asked Camilla to reflect on the beginning of this exciting journey:

Make sure to ensure clarity of vision, alignment across the organization, and fostering a culture where every team member feels empowered to contribute. Challenges are inevitable, but they also present opportunities for growth - embrace them with curiosity and a mindset of continuous learning.  And while business acumen and strategic vision are essential, true effectiveness in the boardroom emerges when we prioritize getting to know the people behind the positions.
