Former ChargePoint Executive Joins Global EV
Charging Leader
Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle
(“EV”) charging and energy management solutions worldwide, today
announced the appointment of Erik Fogelberg as General Manager of
North America. Fogelberg will spearhead Wallbox’s commercial
operations, overseeing sales, marketing, and customer service in
North America.
Fogelberg has over three decades of business experience and a
comprehensive track record building solution-based sales
organizations. He most recently served as the Vice President of
North America Sales at ChargePoint, where he was responsible for
all AC and DC-fast charger sales in the region. Prior to
ChargePoint, he held senior sales leadership roles at NEC Energy
Solutions, Tesla, and SolarCity. In these roles, he scaled the
sales teams, capturing new commercial verticals and deploying
technical solar and solar+battery solutions to secure major
enterprise and utility customers. Erik holds a B.A. in Economics
and Spanish from UCLA.
“Erik is a transformative business leader with extensive
experience in EV charging, solar, and battery storage. He is
arguably one of the most successful sales leaders from our industry
in North America, and brings Wallbox decades of experience in
selling complete energy solutions,” said Enric Asunción, CEO of
Wallbox. “As Wallbox prepares to launch new products in North
America in the coming months - Supernova 180 kW, Quasar 2, and new
AC products - we’re confident that Erik’s deep knowledge of the
energy transition space makes him the perfect person to build upon
our strong momentum in the North American market.”
“With a renowned track record of AC and DC solutions in Europe,
Wallbox has now established a strong foothold in North America
after only a couple years of operation,” said Erik Fogelberg,
General Manager of Wallbox North America. “North America is a
massive market, eager for a strong EV charging provider like
Wallbox, whose solutions are easy to install, manage, and maintain.
I’m excited to join a globally recognized brand and drive the next
era of growth in this market selling US-made products manufactured
from our own plant in Arlington, Texas.”
Fogelberg succeeds Douglas Alfaro, who transitioned to Wallbox’s
headquarters in Barcelona in May to become the company’s Chief
Business Officer and oversee the global sales and service teams.
Fogelberg’s appointment and Alfaro’s transition demonstrate
Wallbox's deep commitment to the North American market.
