Believ sees top team change as CEO departs
Electric vehicle charge point operator Believ has seen changes to its top team with CEO Neil Isaacson leaving the company.
Isaacson, who oversaw the transition of Liberty Charge into the Believ re-branding, is moving into the hydrogen industry.
Perran Moon, Chief Marketing Officer, will become interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until a permanent CEO is appointed later this year. The recruitment process for a new CEO is “currently at an advanced stage”, the firm said.
During his time with Believ, Isaacson secured investment to take the business from initial concept to an established charge point operator within a three year period.
The company – a 50:50 joint venture between Liberty Global and Zouk Capital – will have 4,000 sockets installed by the end of 2023 and has delivered more than 2.4m kWh of charge to-date – saving nearly 200,000kg of CO2.
Alongside its work with local authorities, Believ has also recently launched its b2b proposition with an emphasis on reliability of installed equipment – with the result that the network uptime has averaged almost 99% in the last six months.
Neil Isaacson, outgoing CEO, Believ, said: “My journey with Believ is one that I will always remember fondly, and I am proud of what we have achieved. The team we have built is extraordinary – a group of people who care so much for our goal of cleaner air for all, and work tirelessly to build our proposition.”
Speaking on behalf of Believ, Jonathan Pearson, Chair, Believ and MD, Capital Allocation and Business Control, Liberty Global, said: “Neil’s energy and drive have been key to getting Believ to the position it is in today, as a CPO capable of delivering an end-to-end charge point service at scale and pace to address the Government’s ambition of installing 300,000 publicly-accessible charge points by 2030. He leaves the business in excellent shape and we continue to work to have a new permanent CEO in place later this year.”
